There will be no tropical depression in the Gulf, at least this week. The National Hurricane Center on Thursday said an area of low pressure that had attracted the attention of weather watchers this week as it moved across the northern Gulf has moved inland in Louisiana as of Thursday evening.

The National Hurricane Center said July 15 it is continuing to track a system off the coast of Florida that could soon become a tropical depression.

Invest 93L is currently churning in the Gulf and is expected to pick up a bit of steam before it makes landfall in Louisiana early Thursday afternoon.

Depression or no depression, the system could bring several inches of rain to the north-central Gulf Coast, including Alabama, through Friday. The National Weather Service in Mobile thinks that the most rain with this system will likely fall closer to the coast, with scattered storms possible.

A weather system moving across Florida wasn’t even a tropical something but it has the potential to develop into a tropical depression as it moves across the Gulf later in the week.

Invest 93L is taking its time moving across Florida, and it could still become a tropical depression later this week.

No. 1 was hoisted over nine areas in Luzon due to the effects of Tropical Depression Crising, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Thursday morning.

The National Hurricane Center continued Saturday to assess a tropical wave moving across the Atlantic with a chance to develop into the season’s next tropical depression or storm.
