Tropical Weather Update - July 19, 2025
A tropical wave interacting with a broad area of low pressure is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms more than 900 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for gradual development of this system during the next few days as it moves westward to west-northwestward around 10 mph.

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 Update - July 17, 2025
The tropical disturbance near New Orleans has not strengthened and now has only a slight chance & brief window for becoming a tropical depression. It's mainly going to be a rain-maker for Louisiana the next few days and could bring us a round of storms tomorrow. Whether or not it happens to spin-up into a depression along their coastline, it's effects here would still be scattered storms for Friday. In the meantime, rest of today will be mostly cloudy and hot with highs in the mid 90s and an isolated shower. Check out Texas Live and Local daily on the Fox Local streaming app for more updates.

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.
