Houston Astros starter Hunter Brown was replaced on the American League roster for the All-Star Game on Wednesday, the league announced, with Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan taking his place.

Invest 93L was still over land early Wednesday, but it's expected to bring the risk of heavy rainfall and flooding to Houston in the coming days.

The National Hurricane Center has highlighted an area it's watching in the Gulf. Right now, there's a low chance for development.

Hurricane center forecasters said the system, designated as Invest 93L, is forecast to continue moving westward and could emerge or redevelop.

For Houston, the best chance to see rain will likely be Friday afternoon, especially between 4 and 5 p.m., as the edge of the tropical moisture moves closer. Forecast models show some scattered showers or a quick downpour for eastern counties, but overall rainfall totals are expected to stay light — perhaps just a half an inch to an inch.

Forecasters are warning of early signs of a potential tropical cyclone developing along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. A low-pressure system that could bring storms to Florida before moving west has a medium chance of developing into a tropical cyclone over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The Gulf disturbance we’ve tracked all week long is in our rearview mirror. But with the heat building, new thunderstorms are firing up locally across Southeast Texas.

This weekend will be a bit of a mixed bag with muggy air and a few storms on Saturday, followed by the start of a heat wave on Sunday.
