Tropical Disturbance Approaches Gulf Coast, Potential Impacts for Houston

As of October 4th, 2025, a tropical disturbance is on the radar for the Gulf Coast region. According to the latest reports, one system over Africa is expected to emerge in the far eastern Atlantic by this Saturday, while another emerging disturbance would stretch from Florida's Atlantic coast, across the Florida Peninsula, and into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.

This latter system, a remnant frontal boundary near Florida, could spin up an area of low pressure late this week or into the weekend. While the odds of significant development remain fairly low, with just a 10% chance over the next seven days, the system is still expected to send a surge of tropical moisture toward the Gulf Coast.
