Potential Tropical Cyclone 1 prompts Tropical Storm Warning along Texas Gulf Coast
Potential Tropical Cyclone One is set to bring heavy rain and flooding to much of the Texas Gulf Coast. It could go on to become Alberto.
Potential Tropical Cyclone One formed Monday in the Gulf of Mexico and could be on its way to becoming the first named tropical system of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.
A potential tropical cyclone is a designation used by the National Hurricane Center to indicate a disturbance that is not yet a tropical storm but has the potential to bring that kind of weather to the U.S. within 48 hours.
Potential Tropical Cyclone One is forecast to bring heavy rain and coastal flooding to much of the Texas Gulf Coast even though the center of the storm likely won't make landfall in the U.S.
The system is expected to strengthen and would likely get the first name on the list for the 2024 season – Alberto.
