The National Hurricane Center is watching a tropical system that's crossing Florida from the Atlantic, heading west to the gulf. The center says the storm has the potential to dump heavy rain and cause flash flooding in some places in Florida.

Flash flood risk for Florida as Invest 93L crosses the state. Some isolated areas could experience over 5 inches of rain on Tuesday.

This semipermanent system guides hurricanes, making the difference between a hurricane making landfall or staying as a fish storm.

Heavy rains in Florida could lead to flash floods. We monitor an area where a tropical system may form.

Intense rainstorms are becoming more frequent in most of the U.S. — though experts say where they occur and whether they cause catastrophic flooding is largely a matter of chance. More than 100 people died in Texas Hill Country over the weekend after 12 inches of rain fell in just hours. Last year, Hurricane Helene dumped more than 30 inches of rain on western North Carolina, where flooding killed 108. Experts say human-caused climate change is setting the stage because a hotter atmosphere holds more water. But it's impossible to predict where flooding will occur in any given year.

Former federal officials and outside experts have warned for months that President Donald Trump's staffing cuts to the National Weather Service could endanger lives. After torrential rains and flash flooding struck Friday in the Texas Hill Country, the weather service came under fire from local officials who criticized what they described as inadequate forecasts. Democrats wasted little time linking staff reductions to the disaster, which is being blamed for the deaths of at least 80 people. Former federal officials and experts have said Trump's indiscriminate job reductions at NWS and other weather-related agencies will result in brain drain that threatens the government's ability to issue timely and accurate forecasts. Trump said job cuts did not hamper weather forecasts.

Kerr County, Texas, Sheriff Larry Leitha says that 11 campers and a camp counselor are still missing after powerful floods inundated central Texas. Dozens of people have been killed since raging floodwaters slammed a portion of central Texas starting Friday. The death toll from flash floods rose to nearly 70 on Sunday after searchers found more more bodies in the hardest-hit Kerr County. The victims include children who were camping along the Guadalupe River banks. Officials have said they will not stop searching until every person is found.

While Chantal moves away, there will be plenty of moisture being pulled over Florida on Saturday that, combined with local effects, could mean stormier conditions for some areas.
