Extreme weather will be threatening Gulf states and the West Coast over the next week, according to the latest forecast.
There is a 50% chance for the development of a tropical depression in the next 48 hours and a 70% chance over the next seven days, in the western Gulf of Mexico.
This system is expected to bring heavy rain to the Mexico, Texas and Louisiana coasts in the coming days.
Rain from this system may begin as early as Tuesday but will come into play on Wednesday and Thursday when the heaviest rain is expected to fall.
The coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and parts of the Florida panhandle may see five to 10 inches of rainfall over the course of a few days next week from this tropical system, which would create a flood risk.
Some cities impacted include Houston, Brownsville, Beaumont, Lake Charles, New Orleans, Mobile, and Pensacola.
Stronger wind gusts will also accompany the heavy rainfall.
