Alberto is likely to dissipate over Mexico as early as Thursday night, after bringing torrential rainfall, coastal flooding and strong winds from the centre along north-eastern Mexico and the south Texas coast. In the United States as far as Louisiana, videos showed flooded coastal towns and water smashing into sea walls, while in Tamaulipas, videos shared on social media showed ominous grey skies as forecasters warned Alberto could bring waves as high as 6 metres.
The NHC predicted “moderate coastal flooding” along much of the Texan coast through Thursday, while Mexican forecasters expect further weekend rains in the south from another formation over the Caribbean.
