A tropical disturbance moved over the Gulf of Mexico late Wednesday and it's expected to continue westward, approaching Texas in the coming days.

The tropical development in the northern Gulf of Mexico this week is expected to be limited due to its close proximity to land, but it will still pose a danger for the millions who reside across the region.

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.
