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.
