A tropical rainmaker is shifting course, threatening to impact over 30 million Americans with flash floods in 11 states. Meteorologists predict the storm, named Invest 93L, will move from Louisiana north toward Arkansas. Spaghetti models indicate a high degree of certainty in this path. While not yet a named storm, forecasters express significant concern over potential flooding risks. Areas south and west of New Orleans could see up to eight inches of rain before the system continues its advance.
Meteorologists have warned that a surge in tropical moisture could set off dangerous flash floods all the way from the Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley, impacting residents in parts of 11 states from now through this weekend.
The latest spaghetti models of this storm, called Invest 93L, have shifted its path away from the East Coast, predicting that it will barrel through Louisiana and head north into Arkansas by Saturday.
AccuWeather's lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva said: 'We're increasingly concerned about the risk of flooding through the weekend as the moisture from this tropical rainstorm surges northward.'
Areas south and west of New Orleans are projected to be flooded with up to eight inches of rain before the storm moves into the heart of the country.
