Rain chances return to North Texas ahead of Juneteenth, as tropical moisture surges.
The tropical system could bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to North Texas -- Wednesday offers the best chance for rain in DFWOn Wednesday, the tropical storm churning in the southwestern part of the Gulf of Mexico developed into Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of what is expected to be a busy hurricane season in the Atlantic Basin.
The hurricane center said the rainfall will likely produce considerable flash and urban flooding with 5 to 10 inches of rain falling across northeast Mexico and South Texas. Life-threatening flooding and mudslides are likely in and near higher terrain areas where up to 20 inches of rain are possible across the Mexican states of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas.
Some slight strengthening is forecast for Wednesday before the center of Alberto reaches land on Thursday, the center said. “Rapid weakening is expected once the center moves inland, and Alberto is likely to dissipate over Mexico” on Thursday, the center said. An average Atlantic hurricane season produces 14 named storms, seven of them hurricanes and three major hurricanes.
