A tropical wave of low atmospheric pressure that's been closely watched since last week was moving westward through the Gulf of Mexico toward South Texas on Monday. This feature could become a tropical depression or even a low-end tropical storm early this week, bringing much-needed rainfall to some areas of the Lone Star State. The Houston area, however, under the strong influence of a heat dome anchored over the Central Plains, will likely not see much relief from tropical downpours.
