Localized flooding in Houston is possible Friday as a tropical disturbance in the western Gulf of Mexico approaches the Texas coast.

Scattered storms are expected along the Texas coast after 9 to 10 a.m. Friday, with rain shifting farther inland by Saturday

The system will likely bring heavy rainfall over southern Texas over the next few days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). There is a low chance of the system developing into a tropical depression, with the NHC reporting a 20 percent chance of formation through the next 48 hours or seven days.
