Is a tropical storm on the horizon? | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast

Happy Sunday, everyone. We get to enjoy another beauty today and again tomorrow. Expected morning temps in the 60s and low 70s with breezy, dry days in the 80s. Now, for the big topic - yes, it looks like a tropical system will form in the southern Gulf over the next couple of days. Every model at this point is showing the center of a likely tropical storm staying just off our coastline and moving into Louisiana. In this scenario, we would see heavy rain for coastal counties with gusty winds and very rough seas. If the path shift a bit to the left, we could get more widespread rain and wind, so stay tuned for updates. The next names on the tropical list are Francine and Gordon. There is another system far away in the Atlantic that will probably become a strong hurricane this week but is not a threat to Texas.
