The storm ready to dip the Gulf coast this week attracts the attention of the National Hurricane Center
The forecasters of the National Hurricane Center keep an eye on a storm system off the southeast of the United States for a possible tropical development while it moves through Florida and emerges in the Gulf. The meteorologists of Fox Weather Haley Meier and Craig Herrera decompose forecasts on July 23, 2025.
Miami – A storm system that turns on the coast in the south-east of the United States has drawn the attention of the National Hurricane Center (NHC) with a small chance to become a tropical system.
Just like what was previously known as investment 93l earlier this month, a low pressure hollow at the southern end of a frontal border should move to the west-southwest in the northern-central part of the Gulf, according to the NHC. There, environmental conditions could allow a certain slow development if the system remains far enough offshore.

However, this weekend, the system is likely to move inside the land, ending its chances of development.
Although like Invest 93L, the threat of heavy rain and thunderstorms will persist if the hollow ultimately turns into a tropical system. The NHC is currently only giving a low risk of development.
A video recorded in Lake Worth, Florida, shows flooded roads after heavy rains on Tuesday July 22, 2025.
In terms of precipitation total, around 2 to 3 inches could fall on a large part of the Côte du Gulf du Nord, with locally higher quantities.
Sudden floods spread are not expected, but isolated floods could appear in pockets of strong precipitation sitting in an area for too long.

The disturbance may have less chance of developing in relation to Invest 93L because the previous event had more structure organized compared to the current system. That said, the southern flow along the northern Gulf will likely last days, resulting in increased risk of rip currents along the beaches in the region.
An average risk of rip currents is expected along the Florida Panhandle Destin in Port St. Joe, as well as along the Atlantic coast of Daytona Beach to the south via Melbourne and West Palm Beach, until last weekend in July.

The impacts already felt along the southeast coast
The floods have already been experienced in certain parts of the low country of Southern Carolina, because the combination of upper tides and strong precipitation has made the streets of Charleston look like ponds.
The city center of Charleston received a little more than an inch of precipitation on Monday, but with nowhere for the water to go, floods have been reported on several roads. Minor salt water floods were also reported around the port of Charleston on Tuesday – impacts which will continue until the disturbed meteorological zone moves to the Gulf.
