Regardless of formation, our impacts are the same. We will see gusty winds to 30mph, rough seas, high rip currents and a flood threat. We can expect to see rainfall tapering off early Thursday but coastal flooding will continue through Thursday morning.

If a tropical system develops , the center of the storm will be over Mexico.

Rest of the week:

Thursday will get back to a more typical summer forecast: Hot, sticky and humid. We’ll see a few scattered afternoon storms leftover from the overall flow of Alberto as it moves into Mexico. The weekend will be hot and mostly rain free aside from a few afternoon pop-up storms each afternoon.
