Houston faces a dry Wednesday as high pressure moves in, but the tropical system Invest 93L could send downpours to Southeast Texas by Thursday.

The storm remains disorganized on Wednesday but still has time to strengthen over the Gulf before making landfall on Thursday.

Regardless of how the system develops, the National Weather Service said in a Wednesday morning update that "a surge of tropical moisture could enhance the risk of showers and thunderstorms" in Southeast Texas by the end of the week.

A disorganized low-pressure area off Florida is showing increasing chances of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm this week.

New Orleans is preparing for heavy rainfall this week as a tropical disturbance moves through the Gulf of Mexico toward the Louisiana coast.

Unlike Monday, which was a deluge for South Florida, today’s tropical-system-related rain is expected to be more concentrated in the center of the state.
