Invest 97-L tracker: Check out spaghetti models, warnings and expected impacts from Florida to Texas

Two tropical systems are being monitored in the Atlantic basin, but neither is expected to impact South Florida imminently. The remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly are causing heavy rainfall and strong winds near Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, with no signs of redevelopment. Dolly is moving west to west-northwest at about 25 mph, with a 10% chance of redevelopment in the next week.

Meanwhile, Invest 97L is generating disorganized showers and thunderstorms in the northern Gulf, with a 70% chance of development as it drifts westward. This system could become a tropical depression or storm as early as Monday before making landfall in Louisiana and Texas. If winds reach 39 mph, it would be named Tropical Storm Edouard, the fifth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season.

The National Hurricane Center will investigate the low-pressure system via hurricane hunters on Monday morning. A separate low-pressure system in the northern Gulf, 100 miles south of southern Louisiana, is also generating showers and thunderstorms, with the potential to develop into a tropical depression or storm by tonight or early Tuesday.

Residents along the southwestern Louisiana and Upper Texas coasts should monitor this system, as tropical storm watches or warnings may be issued for certain areas. The system is expected to bring significant rainfall to areas along the Upper Texas and southwestern Louisiana coasts in the coming days, with the heaviest rain expected to hit coastal Louisiana early Monday morning, followed by downpours spreading west across the state.
