Tropical storm warnings have been issued in South Texas and the coastline of Tamaulipas, Mexico, ahead of a “potential tropical cyclone” churning toward the Rio Grande.
Flooding has already been reported in parts of northern Mexico, and another inch or two of rain is likely. The first showers from potential tropical cyclone 4, or PTC4, were also streaming ashore, as well.After a quiet start, Atlantic hurricane season could ramp up into September
PTC4 appeared nominally impressive on infrared satellite, with an obvious swirl signifying mid-level rotation. At the surface, however, Hurricane Hunter reconnaissance aircraft have repeatedly been unable to locate a cohesive low-level center of circulation. That means there isn’t a single well-defined central vortex, preventing the classification of PTC4 as a tropical storm. Subsequently, it can’t earn the name Danielle.
By the midweek, some places north of Dallas and south of Oklahoma City, including along Interstates 35 and 287, could be looking at six inches or more of rainfall. That’ll put a hefty dent in the existing deficit across that area.Advertisement
