Forecasters are warning of early signs of a potential tropical cyclone developing along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure system that could bring storms to Florida before moving west has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

A tropical disturbance could form this week in the Gulf of Mexico and plentiful moisture will mean continued downpours for the Houston area.

Houston faces a week of varied weather, with heat and possible downpours forecast, along with a brief dry spell and a looming tropical disturbance by the weekend.
