"An area of disturbed weather in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico is starting to become evident today. Models over the last few runs have suggested that this feature will become more prominent during the week, with several of the best Tropical Cyclone genesis models' runs indicating formation into a depression or storm by early next week, with a track generally north towards Texas or Louisiana. This feature seems to be a combination of remnant trailing troffiness in the wake of Harvey + the monsoon trof being drawn northward + one or more African Easterly Waves. Such a combination can easily result in a very wet system, regardless of TC development, and we can only hope the best for locations already ravaged by Harvey. "---flhurricane.com
