Houston faces a dry Wednesday as high pressure moves in, but the tropical system Invest 93L could send downpours to Southeast Texas by Thursday.

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.

The Gulf disturbance we’ve tracked all week long is in our rearview mirror. But with the heat building, new thunderstorms are firing up locally across Southeast Texas.

Invest 93L was still over land early Wednesday, but it's expected to bring the risk of heavy rainfall and flooding to Houston in the coming days.

The National Hurricane Center has highlighted an area it's watching in the Gulf. Right now, there's a low chance for development.

Houston Astros starter Hunter Brown was replaced on the American League roster for the All-Star Game on Wednesday, the league announced, with Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan taking his place.

For Houston, the best chance to see rain will likely be Friday afternoon, especially between 4 and 5 p.m., as the edge of the tropical moisture moves closer. Forecast models show some scattered showers or a quick downpour for eastern counties, but overall rainfall totals are expected to stay light — perhaps just a half an inch to an inch.

Hurricane center forecasters said the system, designated as Invest 93L, is forecast to continue moving westward and could emerge or redevelop.

Forecasters are warning of early signs of a potential tropical cyclone developing along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure system that could bring storms to Florida before moving west has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

HOUSTON — High pressure will begin to build in from the Southeast. As this high moves overhead, rain chances will drop to nearly zero for the middle of the week. The lower rain chances and added sunshine mean temperatures will become a bit warmer, with some spots in the upper 90s and feels-like temperatures in the low 100s.

A weakening tropical disturbance that’s lingered near the northern Gulf Coast is losing its chance for development—but not before bringing moderate to heavy rain to Southeast Texas. T
