It is forecasted to move slowly north along the northern Mexico and southeastern Texas border and then strengthen to a minimal hurricane before making landfall across the NW Gulf coast.

This system could produce 3-5" of rainfall across the Texas, Louisiana Gulf coast.

The two other areas of interest are in the Atlantic Basin. Both areas are circulating near each other and likely fighting for similar energy. They are both highlighted with a high to moderate chance of development.
