Forecasters have given the area a low chance of development.

What they're saying:

"Conditions there are expected to be only marginally conducive for development," the NHC wrote in its outlook.

Disturbance, front raise flooding concerns

Moisture from the disturbance combined with a cold front slinking through Texas has raised the threat of flooding in parts of the state. 

Areas of the Lone Star State are included in a Level 2 out of 4 risk of flooding from Sunday through at least Thursday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Central and Southeast Texas, including cities such as Del Rio, Austin, San Antonio, Victoria, Corpus Christi, Houston and Galveston.

As much as 4 inches of rain is possible inside the watch area, forecasters said.
