Satellite imagery can help determine the strength, size and cohesion of a storm. The stronger a storm becomes, the more likely an eye will form in the center. When the eye looks symmetrical, that often means the storm is not encountering anything to weaken it.

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).

The tropical cyclone Crising (international name: Wipha) intensified on Saturday morning and became a severe tropical storm at 8 a.m., PAGASA said. Crising is still within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) but is expected to exit it within the day.

Forecasters are warning of early signs of a potential tropical cyclone developing along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure system that could bring storms to Florida before moving west has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The system, identified as Invest 93L, originally developed east of Florida before traversing the entire state and ending up over Louisiana and Mississippi.

The storm remains disorganized on Wednesday but still has time to strengthen over the Gulf before making landfall on Thursday.

The Florida Panhandle will see heavy rainfall from Invest 93L after it reaches the Gulf on Wednesday. The greatest threat to the area at the moment is flash flooding in low-lying, poor-drainage areas and urban locations. Invest 93L is currently expected to make landfall near Louisiana's southeastern coast Thursday morning.

Hurricane center forecasters said the system, designated as Invest 93L, is forecast to continue moving westward and could emerge or redevelop.

As the peak months of the Atlantic hurricane season quickly approach, conditions for tropical development become more likely.

The window is narrowing for a new tropical system to emerge from an area of stormy weather located in the central Atlantic and moving toward the Caribbean, according to the National Hurricane
