The National Hurricane Center this afternoon is still giving an area of showers and storms just off the Texas coast a 40 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression.
"Recent satellite and radar imagery indicate that showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure near the southern coast of Texas have changed little in organization since this morning," said forecaster David Zelinsky with the hurricane center.
"Slow development of this system is possible while the low remains over water and it could still become a short-lived tropical depression before it moves inland," Zelinsky continued. "Regardless of development, heavy rain will be possible along portions of the Texas coast for the next two days."

Meanwhile, Potential Tropical Cyclone Two off the Caribbean coast of Columbia is still expected to become Tropical Storm Bonnie, possibly as soon as this evening, and may even become the season's first hurricane in the western Caribbean this weekend.
A tropical wave over the central Atlantic approaching the Lesser Antilles shows signs of gradual development, but the hurricane center gives it low chances of development over the week.
