HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Drier air moving in Tuesday through Thursday will give us less rain and hotter temps. A quick round of Saharan dust will blow in on Wednesday and give us a hazy sky for a day. Then we'll be watching an area of tropical moisture moving in from the Gulf this weekend.

Does the tropical system east of Florida have a chance for development?

Yes. The National Hurricane Center is giving it a 40% chance for development over the next couple of days, as it moves through the northern Gulf.

Is there a chance the system makes it to the upper Texas coast at some point?

Yes. But the forecast for this weekend is very uncertain. The system's track will depend on the position and strength of a couple of high pressure cells to its north. Most models take it towards Louisiana but a Texas landfall is not out of the question.

What should I be doing right now to prepare?

Pay close attention to the forecast this week. Although the system has a low chance of becoming a strong tropical system, it could bring us heavy rain and gusty winds. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what's happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
