"It's Tuesday into Wednesday where, especially Southeast Texas and the coast of Louisiana, will start to see some tropical impacts," shared FOX 13 News Meteorologist Valerie Mills.
Mills says Florida will be on the outer edge of the system but the brunt of it will hit eastern Texas and Louisiana.
"All along these coastal spots and even heading inland, still some pretty big rain totals are going to be possible," explained Mills.
