The 2018 Hurricane Season has unofficially started

And so it’s happened.

Yesterday, I wrote a post saying that there was a strong possibility that the first storm of the season: Tropical Storm Alberto, would form in the coming days. Well, at around 10:30 today (25/05/2018), Subtropical Storm Alberto has officially formed according to the National Hurricane Center of the United States.

The current storm track is for Alberto to make landfall on the Gulf Coast of the US, possibly the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama or the area of the Florida Panhandle. The wind speeds could be up to 60 mph (96 km/h) when the storm hits land at some point over the next few days.

Fortunately for South Florida, Alberto is not expected to hit the area, but heavy rains and torrential downpours are expected to hit the metro area over the weekend and possibly Monday and Tuesday as well.

As always, if there are any updates about Alberto, then I will place them into a separate post on this blog.
