After making landfall earlier today, Alberto has now diminished into a remnant storm over northeastern Mexico. Still, heavy rain and high winds will impact Mexico over the next day or so as this system begins to further diminish.
As of 5 p.m. EDT/4 p.m. CDT, The Remnants of Alberto was last located near 22.3 N and 102.0 W, or about 260 miles west of Tampico, Mexico, and 380 miles southwest of Brownsville, Texas. Alberto has maximum sustained winds of 30 mph and is moving westward at 24 mph. Its minimum central pressure is 1000 mb, or 29.53 inches of mercury. All Tropical Storm Warnings have been allowed to expire.
While the rain has become more scattered in nature, localized rain amounts of up to 1 inch are still possible today. Storm surge continues to be in issue mainly along the Texas coast today, with surge of 1 to 3 feet and locally higher surge up to 4 feet possible.
The tropics look to remain active as another system looks to enter the Bay of Campeche or the southern Gulf of Mexico this weekend into early next week, which could lead to another round of heavy rain and flooding for parts of Mexico and the western Gulf Coast. There is already a new area to watch, currently north of Honduras and east of Belize with a 30% chance develop into a tropical depression or storm over the next couple of days and enhanced odds when it enters the Bay of Campeche.
In the Atlantic, an area of disturbed weather east of the Bahamas, currently called Invest 92L, could become better organized as it tracks toward the southeastern U.S. later this week, already projected to accumulate rain in parts of Florida. The National Hurricane Center is giving this system a 50% chance to develop into a tropical depression or storm over the next few days.
