Forecasters are warning of early signs of a potential tropical cyclone developing along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure system that could bring storms to Florida before moving west has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

Flooding was possible across some parts of Southeast Texas, mainly east of Interstate 45, and in East Texas along the Texas-Louisiana border.

In anticipation of potentially severe weather in Southeast Texas late Thursday through early Saturday, Gov. Greg Abbott has activated the state’s emergency resources.
