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