Much of the Houston and Galveston area is expected to experience heavy rainfall and scattered thunderstorms on Friday as remnants of a tropical disturbance that made its way from Florida move out of the Gulf.

A tropical disturbance in the Gulf is set to dump heavy rain in the South as the Northeast braces for more flooding. The tropical system in the Gulf has a 40% chance of developing into a tropical depression, and if it strengthens enough to a named storm, it would be dubbed Dexter.

A system was detected off the Atlantic Coast of Florida and is expected to move into the northern Gulf Coast and develop into a tropical depression.
