Description
English: The first named tropical storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was ramping up over the Gulf of Mexico on June 19 when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this true-color image.

Tropical Storm Alberto made landfall over the coast of Mexico, near the city of Tampico, shortly after 5:00 a.m. EDT (0900 UTC) on June 20. It was carrying maximum sustained winds of about 50 mph (85 km/h) as it moved ashore.

Reports of wind damage were minimal, but the sprawling storm brought torrential rain and storm surge as high as 4 feet (1.2 m). The Washington Post reported that Galveston Bay saw it’s seventh-highest water level on record and that most of the streets on Surfside Beach, Texas, were inundated with a foot or greater of ocean water. Flooding was also severe in Mexico, where at least three people have been killed.

Alberto dissipated on June 20 as it moved inland over Mexico. The remnants of the storm are expected to continue to bring rain and may trigger additional flooding through at least June 21.
