What was a tropical depression on Monday became Tropical Storm Harold early Tuesday, giving Texas its first dose of tropical weather for 2023.
Texas is set for its first bout from the tropics on Tuesday after Tropical Storm Harold formed early Tuesday morning, producing top winds of 45 mph, as of 4 a.m. CT.
The National Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm warning for an area along the Texas coast from the mouth of the Rio Grande to Port O'Connor. A section from Port O'Connor to Sargent is under a tropical storm watch. Because it is quickly moving at 18 mph, the storm located about 155 miles off the coast won't have much time to gain strength. The National Hurricane Center expects Harold to come ashore Tuesday as a tropical storm. A widespread area of Texas is expected to receive 3 to 5 inches of rain with some areas topping 7 inches. Areas under the tropical storm warning could also experience 1 to 3 feet of storm surge, the National Hurricane Center warned.
The Atlantic Hurricane Season has been a little more active than usual. Harold is the eighth named storm of the year. On average, the eighth storm of the year forms Sept. 9. Tropical Storm Franklin continues to churn in the Caribbean. It had top sustained winds of 50 mph, as of early Tuesday morning. A tropical storm warning was in place for the southern coasts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. SEE MORE: Post-tropical storm Hilary pushes north and west on Monday
