Tropical Storm Alberto made landfall in Mexico early this morning. It has since dissipated although heavy rainfall continues over parts of North Mexico and South Texas.
The final forecast for the storm below will be left for posterity.
Tropical Storm Alberto was designated by the National Hurricane Center on June 19th in the northern Bay of Campeche. The storm is currently located about 350 miles from Brownsville, Texas and has sustained winds of 40 m.p.h. The storm is expected to make landfall over Mexico on Thursday. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for much of the south Texas coastline from San Luis Pass south to the Mexico Border.
The winds aren’t the main threat with Alberto, but rather the risk of flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has placed most of extreme South Texas under a moderate risk for flash flooding on Thursday.
Total rainfall amounts are expected to be over 4-6″ for North Mexico and South Texas. The interior Mexico mountains could see a foot or more as the moisture crashes into them from the east.
Alberto is expected to dissipate after landfall on Thursday.
The remainder of hurricane season is expected to be active so stick with Now Habersham for the latest.
