Tropical Weather Forecast: Low probability of storm developing in the Gulf
The National Hurricane Center has only a slight 10% chance for the Gulf low near the SE Texas coast to develop, so it's not impossible. But the system is not expected to get upgraded over the next two days since it will have limited time over the warm waters of the Gulf. In fact, it will likely move inland by Saturday. Elsewhere across the Atlantic basin things remain quiet for now. But expect activity to ramp up as we get into August.

Tropical Weather Update - Gulf disturbance moves across Louisiana
Other than that tropical disturbance we've been tracking this week, there's really nothing else happening across the Gulf, the Caribbean Sea or the Atlantic Ocean, at least not yet. We're still in a time of the hurricane season where it's not at all unusual to have little to no activity, but as we head into the month of August, you can expect that activity to pick up quite a bit. For right now we're still in Saharan dust mode across the tropics and so not much is expected to happen over the next several days.

Tropical Weather Forecast - Continuing to closely watch the Gulf for possible tropical development
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a trough of low pressure located over the panhandle of Florida. It is in the process of moving westward into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and stay right along the coast as it moves west. Most models show slow development of the system and a relatively weak low near New Orleans by Thursday. There is still a medium chance this disturbance could form into a tropical depression or weak tropical storm over the next few days. For now, expect the possibility for more downpours in the Houston area on Friday & Saturday. Liberty and Chambers Counties will have the highest risk for heavy rain and flash flooding Friday.

Tropical Weather Update - Watching the Gulf for possible development
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring an area of low pressure located east of Florida. It is forecast to move westward across Florida tonight and into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico by late Tuesday. Most models show slow development of the system and a relatively weak low south of New Orleans by Wednesday and Thursday, however, the Fox Weather Model has been showing a stronger system moving into Louisiana, so the outlook is not really clear. For now, just expect the possibility for more downpours in the Houston area on Friday if the low gets close enough and stay tuned for updates. If this system becomes a tropical storm, the next name on the list would be Dexter.
