Invest 05L - the remnant of TD5 - is located in extreme southwest Georgia near 31N 84.8W at 15/18Z. The system has been moving south at 10mph for the past 18 hours and it should re-enter the Gulf near Port St. Joe, Florida, around midnight EDT tonight (plus or minus an hour or two). Chances for redevelopment into a Tropical Depression are on the increase although the time over water could be confined to a rather narrow window as the system moves west along or near 30N latitude. A little further south of 30N and the system could have a chance to become a minimal Tropical Storm, however, if the track is a little further north it would be unlikely for the system to reach TS intensity. Regardless of a TD or TS status, once over water and with the expected slow movement to the west, considerable rainfall could develop from the Florida panhandle to Louisiana, and perhaps even far eastern Texas.
