Tropical System Moving into the Gulf Not Expected to Impact Texas

What is the danger?

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical disturbance in the Caribbean that is expected to move into the Gulf of Mexico later this week. Currently, it has a 40 percent chance of developing into a tropical depression or Tropical Storm “Alberto” over the next five days. There is low concern to our area, but everyone should monitor the weather over the Memorial Day weekend in case anything changes.

What you need to do:

The Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HCOHSEM) reminds residents that although hurricane season does not officially begin until June 1, tropical storms occasionally form before then.
