Alberto, our first tropical storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, continues to bring waves of heavy rain, gusty winds, and coastal flooding to southeast Texas. The Flood Watch continues south of Houston until 1 a.m. Thursday. Coastal Flood Warning, Wind Advisory & high rip currents risk will stick around through early Thursday also. Storm surge around 2-4' can be expected around high tide which could mean more flooded roads along the coast. T.S. Alberto will make landfall by early Thursday in eastern Mexico taking much of the heavy rain and strong winds west by Thursday and Friday. Lower rain chances stick around for the weekend. We'll have to monitor the SW Gulf of Mexico again next week as another tropical system could form that would enhance our rain chances.

Even though the center of circulation of this potential tropical storm is hundreds of miles to our south and won’t make landfall in Texas, the impacts on our area definitely will be felt along the coastline. A tropical storm warning is in effect for Brazoria and Matagorda counties through the day today as well as areas all the way down to the Rio Grande Valley. in addition, coastal flood warning continues through the day today and tide levels have been rising, causing flooding in parts of Galveston and coastal areas of Brazoria county as well as even some bias in Houston, which could get a little higher through the day. Rainfall is primarily a concern south of Houston, where flood watch continues through the day, but expect a wet morning and mid day all around the greater Houston area, once we get past expect to return to warm conditions with some scattered storms.

Wet and windy weather will stick around tonight and Wednesday with impacts from potential tropical cyclone 1 moving in. Potential Tropical Cyclone One is still churning in the SW Gulf of Mexico with 40 mph winds moving north at 6 mph. It will make landfall in NE Mexico tomorrow night but will still bring the threat for flooding for areas near and south of I-10 through Wednesday. Tropical Storm warnings remain in place for much of the Texas Gulf Coast with wind gusts of 40-45 mph possible along with heavy rain. There's also a coastal flood warning and a high rip currents risk along the coast. Wind Advisory remains in effect until Thursday morning. So look for rough seas and 2-4' storm surge possible in coastal spots with some flooded roads possible. Heaviest rain looks to push in early Wednesday morning and stick around through Wednesday evening. Rain chances gradually get lower as we go into the weekend.
