After the Texas coast was placed under a tropical storm watch, thunderstorms are expected to move throughout the central and western portions of the Gulf Coast on Tuesday.
After a system that forecasters are anticipated to call Tropical Storm Alberto, the National Weather Service predicts that there will be more than three inches of rain, with higher totals exceeding fifteen inches closer to the shore. This is in advance of the system. On Monday, the service issued an advisory for a possible Tropical Cyclone One, which was the first alert the service issued during the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.
According to Michael Brennan, the director of the National Hurricane Center, those who live along the western Gulf Coast can anticipate that the potential of flash floods and heavy rains will rise on Tuesday morning.
Some areas of north Texas could be affected by “a more conditional threat” by Wednesday, according to the agency, and flash floods could occur throughout the Rio Grande Valley. The forecast also includes the possibility of coastal flooding and gusty winds.
According to the National Weather Service, the upper Midwest, the middle Missouri Valley, and the central Plains are also expected to experience destructive gusts, huge hail, and flash flooding.
