Tropical Storm Isaias in the Gulf is expected to become a hurricane, but it's not expected to bring much impact to the Houston area.

The Wednesday 4pm update on Isaias keeps the system a Tropical Storm Isaias with 65 mph winds, but rapid strengthening is expected and it could become a hurricane anytime and a major hurricane is possible by Friday.

Tropical Storm Isais officially formed early Wednesday morning and is expected to become the first hurricane for the Atlantic season this year. There are some possible impacts to the Texas coastline but they should be minor.
