U.S. bound tropical system?

It hasn't been too active, so far, in the Atlantic but that might change later this evening. 

Storm activity associated with a tropical wave will likely become better organized later this afternoon as radar data from Mexico is suggesting a circulation could be forming northeast of Cancun.  If these trends were to continue we could have a tropical depression form later today.  The National Hurricane Center is giving this wave an 80% of becoming a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours.  An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate this system later.

If it does form into a tropical cyclone, the hurricane forecast models are placing its path along the Texas coast.  This may help bring some rain, although it would be heavy, to drought stricken Texas.
