A tropical storm is a type of tropical cyclone with sustained winds between 63 and 118 km/h (39–73 mph). It forms over warm ocean waters and often brings heavy rain, strong winds, and thunderstorms. Tropical storms can strengthen into hurricanes or typhoons if conditions remain favorable. They are less intense than hurricanes but can still cause flooding and damage, especially in coastal areas.
A tropical disturbance near the Texas-Mexico border could briefly develop in the Gulf, but the main threat is life-threatening flash, urban and river flooding across Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
