New Tropical System Forms Off Florida: What to Expect This Week

North Miami, USA - As of July 19, 2025, a new weather system is taking shape east of Florida, creating quite a buzz in the meteorological community. This latest update comes from the National Hurricane Center, which reports that a tropical wave is interacting with a broad area of low pressure, leading to disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Located over 800 miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, this system could see its environmental conditions shift—albeit marginally—in its favor as the weekend unfolds into early next week.

Currently, the system is expected to move westward to west-northwest at about 10 mph. However, meteorologists predict that by the middle of the coming week, the odds for further development will likely deteriorate. Formation chances stand at roughly 0 percent over the next 48 hours and only a low 20 percent over the next week.

What About Invest 93L?

In a related development, Invest 93L is currently making its presence known, having moved inland over southeastern Louisiana. As the system approaches the coast, little development is anticipated, and it is expected to weaken further as it journeys inland. The primary concern here is the potential for torrential downpours, which could trigger dangerous flooding across the north-central Gulf Coast.

AccuWeather has dubbed this system a „tropical rainstorm,“ and forecasts indicate significant rainfall amounts—ranging from 4 to 8 inches across much of southern Louisiana, with some areas potentially seeing up to 16 inches. Not to be overlooked, the risk of tornadoes and waterspouts also looms as this weather event progresses inland. The formation chance for Invest 93L through the next couple of days stands at a low 10 percent, maintaining the theme of cautious optimism.

Recent Climate Trends

In the context of the ongoing hurricane season, a quick glance at climate trends reveals interesting dynamics. Increasing tropical moisture is set to enhance rain chances in southeast Texas this weekend, thanks to the effects rippling from the Gulf. Earlier this month, disturbances have been monitored closely, particularly disturbances that were moving over northern Florida and showed some potential for tropical development.

While forecasts can be shaky, it appears that the climate patterns for this season are fluctuating. The average hurricane season usually sees about 14 named storms, with seven of those potentially turning into hurricanes. As we inch closer to the traditional peak of the season around September 10, all eyes remain peeled on these evolving disturbances.

As always, residents along the coast are urged to stay informed and prepared, particularly as conditions can change swiftly during this time of year. Keeping an eye on the forecasts will be crucial as we navigate what promises to be another lively hurricane season.
