Tropical Disturbance Forms Over Northern Gulf, Expected to Impact Texas

Tropical Disturbance Forms Over Northern Gulf, Expected to Impact Texas

Forecasters are closely monitoring a strong tropical wave that has developed over the northern Gulf of Mexico, south of the Florida Panhandle and Mississippi. Satellite imagery and wind data from Sunday indicate that the system has become more organized since Saturday, with deep convection forming near and just south of a broad circulation. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports that atmospheric conditions in the northern Gulf, characterized by low wind shear, are conducive to further development over the next couple of days. The probability of this system developing into a short-lived tropical depression or tropical storm before reaching the upper Texas or southwestern Louisiana coasts by Tuesday or Tuesday evening is currently at 50 percent. The low-pressure system is being steered westward by the flow along the southern periphery of a large heat dome covering much of the south-central and southeastern U.S. The heat dome's center recently shifted from Oklahoma to the middle Mississippi Valley.

Invest 97L Brings Heavy Rain to Gulf, 50% Chance of Tropical Depression Formation

A tropical disturbance, designated as Invest 97L, has formed over the northern Gulf of Mexico, bringing heavy rainfall to the region. According to FOX Weather, the system has a 50% chance of developing into a tropical depression as it moves toward the Texas and Louisiana coasts. The disturbance originated from a cluster of thunderstorms influenced by a dip in the jet stream over the weekend. Currently, the system is trapped under a heat dome and high-pressure system, which is steering it westward. Hurricane hunters are scheduled to investigate the system early Monday morning to gather more data on its strength and organization. Regardless of its development, the system is expected to bring heavy rain and thunderstorms to the Gulf Coast through Tuesday.

Scattered Storms Return to Houston Amid Hot and Humid Conditions

Houston residents can expect scattered showers and thunderstorms on Friday, August 28, 2026, as an unsettled weather pattern develops across Southeast Texas. While some neighborhoods may experience brief downpours, others could remain dry. Coastal areas are likely to see rain earlier in the day, with inland storms forming later as the sea breeze moves through the region. Temperatures will climb into the mid-90s (35-37°C), with high humidity making conditions feel even warmer. The storms are expected to be unevenly distributed, creating a mix of sunshine, clouds, and rain throughout the day. Residents are advised to stay alert for rapidly changing weather conditions.
