June 19, 2024--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Tropical Storm Alberto, the first named storm of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, formed over the western Gulf of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center said Wednesday morning.
With sustained winds of nearly 40 miles per hour (mph), the storm was expected to bring heavy rainfall and flooding to the coasts of northeastern Mexico and Texas through Thursday. The center of Alberto was expected to reach the coast of northeastern Mexico early Thursday morning, the hurricane center said.

"Alberto is a large tropical storm, with tropical-storm-force winds extending outward up to 415 miles (665 kilometers) north of the center," the hurricane center said. The storm was moving toward the west near 9 mph. A tropical storm warning was in effect for the Texas coast from San Luis Pass southward to the mouth of the Rio Grande, and the northeastern cost of Mexico south of the mouth of the Rio Grande to Tecolutla.
This year's hurricane season is forecast to be a busy one. In May, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic Basin this year, with a range of 17 to 25 named storms.
