What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

A low pressure system formed off the coast of Mexico, initially developing over the far southern Bay of Campeche with disorganized showers and thunderstorms. The National Hurricane Center stated that the system had a 10% chance of developing in the next two to seven days. This weather pattern coincided with a multi-day flood threat for the Greater Houston area, caused by a stalled front, deep tropical moisture, and a disturbance near the Gulf.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The low pressure system was forecast to move inland over eastern Mexico late Saturday or Sunday. The associated heavy rainfall was causing flash flooding, rising water levels in rivers, and localized street flooding in Southeast Texas.

The system was the first potential tropical system tracked by the NHC in the Atlantic basin since the start of hurricane season.
