This storm will continue to strengthen over the next 48 hours, but will diminish in intensity... briefly, as it crosses the Yucatan and then strengthen as it moves over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Right now, conditions are not favorable for a hurricane to form because of high level wind shear. This may change as it moves towards the upper Texas coast early next week.
Remember, the atmosphere is fluid and is ever changing. There is a slight chance for this to become a hurricane by early next week before landfall.
If it continues on this trajectory, DFW will see some welcome rain by Wednesday and Thursday of next week.

TD #14 has developed in the central Caribbean and will be moving west northwest over the next week. All eyes across the Yucatan need to stay weather aware early next week and possibly along the lower to middle Texas coast by the end of next week. A named storm is in the offing over the next 48 to 72 hours.
Storm number 2 that's approaching the Leeward and Windward Islands, will most likely become a tropical storm and eventually a hurricane by early next week. Its movement will continue West over the coming days and weeks. It's still waaaay too early to tell if this storm will impact the United States.
Storm number 3 just now exiting the African coast will need to be watched as well over the coming weeks.
The next 3 storm names are easy to pronounce, lol, Josephine, Kyle, and Laura.
