Much of the Houston and Galveston area is expected to experience heavy rainfall and scattered thunderstorms on Friday as remnants of a tropical disturbance that made its way from Florida move out of the Gulf.

A low pressure system near Florida has a 40% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression, according to the National Hurricane Center.

This system is a prime example of how a tropical disturbance doesn’t need to form into a named tropical storm in order to pose a significant risk to life and property.
