Forecasters issued the first tropical storm warning of this year's hurricane season, for coastal Texas and the northeastern coast of Mexico, on Tuesday morning.
The first tropical storm warning of this year's hurricane season was issued early Tuesday, as coastal communities in southern Texas prepare for an oncoming bout of heavy rain and possible flooding. The storm was developing over the southern Gulf of Mexico and expected to reach land as a potential tropical cyclone, according to the National Hurricane Center. If the storm becomes strong enough it will become the first named storm of the season: Tropical Storm Alberto.
'The disturbance is very large with rainfall, coastal flooding, and wind impacts likely to occur far from the center along the coasts of Texas and northeastern Mexico,' the hurricane center said in a Tuesday advisory. In Texas, the hurricane center said moderate coastal flooding could begin along the coast as soon as Tuesday morning and continue through the middle of the week. The situation was forecast to worsen on Wednesday for people in the tropical storm warning area.
