Low pressure is expected to emerge over the Gulf of Mexico this week and it may move into a favorable environment for tropical cyclone development.

A tropical system near Florida is expected to move into the Gulf, bringing rain and potential flooding to Houston and the Gulf Coast. KPRC 2’s meteorologist explains what to expect as the week unfolds.

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).
