A disorganized area of low pressure near the Bay of Campeche will become more organized over the next few days and move northward towards the Texas coast.
The Weather Prediction Center has maintained a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 4) area for excessive rainfall on both Tuesday and Wednesday as the system pushes closer to the coast.
