Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center monitored a strengthening storm system off Mexico s southeastern coast that could affect South Texas later this week.
Meteorologists at the NHC said Wednesday that there was at least a 60% chance that the broad disturbance officially named Invest 92L could develop into the season s third tropical depression and move closer to the Texas coast by the weekend, if not sooner. Further development could follow.
“If it were to strengthen into a tropical storm and get a name, the name would most likely be Claudette,” explained Kurt Van Speybroeck with the National Weather Service.
Regardless of its strength, Van Speybroeck warned a storm moving so close to the Texas coast posed far-reaching dangers to coastal communites, including some coastal flooding or some rough surf (along) the mid Texas coast all the way up to the Sabine River.
