KHOU 11 Meteorologists are tracking a tropical wave that is expected to make its way to the Gulf of Mexico Tuesday.
As of Monday, the tropical wave was producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over much of Cuba, according to the National Hurricane Center.
This tropical wave has a low chance of development as it moves through the Gulf of Mexico this week, but it's going to bring a surge of tropical moisture to our region, likely on Thursday and Friday, according to KHOU 11 meteorologists.
TRACKING THE TROPICAL WAVE
The tropical wave is expected to move west-northwestward over the next several days and enter the southeastern Gulf of Mexico by late Tuesday.
It will then move across the central Gulf on Wednesday and reach the northwestern Gulf on Thursday.
According to the National Hurricane Center, the disturbance is currently producing disorganized shower activity.
The disturbance will likely increase to 20 percent development within the next five days.
