Tropical rainstorm to bring heavy rain to Texas and Louisiana

A lot of rain coming in here with a tropical rainstorm that's set to likely intensify here over the course of the next 24 to 36 hours. So we are into the 2024 hurricane season started off at June the 1st and at this point this is the latest start to the hurricane season we've seen since 2014. You have to go back to a July 1st of 2014 when we saw again the first name storm being Arthur. Well, the first name storm this year would be Alberto and we are looking at that to likelihood here is work our way toward midweek as this again traverses some very warm as sea surface water temperatures, some deep ocean. A key content involved here further down in the layers here of the water. And we're also talking about other favorable ingredients meaning moist pressures in place. The dry air is going to be backing off, the wind shear here is going to be relaxing the winds higher up in the atmosphere and that should allow the system to begin to organize and begin to consolidate as we go into a Tuesday and also into Wednesday. Either way, regardless of its again exact again wind speed, we're going to be talking about a lot of rain coming out of this with regards to a precipitation about some areas can exceed 1/2 a foot to potentially a foot of rain going through Monday into Thursday night. Much of this coming down as we go into Tuesday evening, Tuesday night and into a Wednesday. You can see the timelines, the dashed lines here. That will be the arrival times of the heaviest of the rain. And looking at an acupatal local stormax of 30 inches, that's a quite a bit of precipitation here and some wind as well as we go in 2:00 AM to Tuesday night to Wednesday and some of the winds here can be topping 40 if not even 50 mph stretching from again a near a Corpus Christi on South the Mexican coastline. And when it comes to the risk of lives and property, we're looking at a high risk here due to the combination of these ingredients again or or impacts I should say, major flooding as well as mud slides over the mountainous terrain of northeastern New Mexico, gusty winds and dangerous surf. And as we look at the season as a whole, we are anticipating participating a very active season with above the historical average named storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes.
