The National Hurricane Center says an area of showers and thunderstorms off of the Louisiana coast could develop into a tropical depression or named storm.
"This system is forecast to move slowly westward and approach the coast of southern Texas and northern Mexico by early Thursday," said forecaster David Zelinsky with the hurricane center. "Some slow development is still possible and it could become a short-lived tropical depression near the coast before it turns northwestward and moves inland over Texas on Thursday."
Forecasters give it a 40 percent chance of development over the next two to five days.
Meanwhile, Potential Tropical Cyclone Two off the Caribbean coast of Venezuela and is still expected to become Tropical Storm Bonnie, possibly as soon as tomorrow morning. It may become a Pacific ocean hurricane after it crosses Central America.
A tropical wave over the central Atlantic shows signs of gradual development, but the hurricane center gives it low chances of development over the week.
