Florida, National Hurricane Center and 93L

The chances of invest 93L—a disturbance over the Gulf Coast with the potential to become Tropical Storm Dexter—developing into a cyclone have fallen, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
Invest 93L may have fizzled out, but the history of Texas storms suggests August could be the 'real' start of the season.
Hurricane center forecasters said the system, designated as Invest 93L, is forecast to continue moving westward and could emerge or redevelop.
There's a chance the storm could form within the next 48 hours. Even if it doesn't, Florida is expecting heavy rain.
A wet and rainy Florida could soon see even more precipitation in the coming days, according to the National Weather Service, which has warned the Gulf Coast will face a flood-generating system that could form into Tropical Storm Dexter.
