Convenience Big Store: Houston developer unveils plans for 310 apartments in Rosenberg

Two tropical waves spotted in the Caribbean and Atlantic. What are they and should we worry?

Two tropical systems — one in the Caribbean and one in the Atlantic — have a slight chance of developing into stronger storms over the next week, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Texas and Gulf Coast residents have time and distance are on their side, writes our meteorologist Roberto Villalpando. With several days and hundreds and thousands of miles between these tropical waves and the Texas coast, forecasters can't yet say where the systems will go.

So far, we've only some scattered rain clouds and thunderstorms as they drift west. However, we have been promised an extremely active Atlantic Hurricane Season.
