A tropical disturbance moved over the Gulf of Mexico late Wednesday and it's expected to continue westward, approaching Texas in the coming days.

Downpours capable of triggering localized flash flooding will spread into parts of Louisiana and Texas to end the week. A budding tropical rainstorm may cause winds and fire risk to increase in Hawaii.

The National Hurricane Center gives the disturbance a 10% chance of development, but parts of Texas will see heavy rainfall regardless.
