Tropical Storm Alberto

Tropical Depression 1 strengthened earlier this morning and officially became Tropical Storm Alberto. As of right now, the actual center of circulation is a bit obscure because it is so disorganized. Sustained winds within the storm are near 45 mph with higher gusts. The main concern about this system isn't necessarily the wind, but the amount of rainfall. Overall, Alberto is beginning to slow down a bit, moving to the north at 7mph which has the potential to cause flash flooding in some areas. Alberto should begin to turn to the NE later on this evening, making landfall Tuesday afternoon along the Florida coastline. There is quite significant wind shear aloft that should prevent the system from strengthening. A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for much of the Florida Gulf Coast. Unfortunately, we won't be experiencing any shower activity from this system........
