'A real forecasting nightmare': Tropical rains head for Texas coast
CNN
The Atlantic hurricane season is becoming more active with a disturbance set to drench coastal Texas this week, and a system likely to soon be named Bonnie heading into Central America.
"Get ready for a wet few days across Southeast Texas," the National Weather Service (NWS) office in Houston said Wednesday morning. The tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico will drift toward the Texas coast, bringing some much-needed rain plus a threat of flooding to the region.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring the area of disorganized thunderstorms over the northwestern Gulf as it is expected to move slowly westward, approaching the coast of Texas today.
