CBS News Texas is keeping an eye on the Southwestern Gulf for potential development early next week. The National Hurricane Center has a medium 40% chance of development. The system may push some tropical moisture into North Texas, resulting in higher humidity and some scattered showers.
The National Weather Service says isolated to scattered showers and storms will return to part of the North Texas region on Sunday and Monday afternoons.
The heaviest rain will remain to the south of North Texas.
