Tropical Storm Alberto was a broad but short-lived tropical cyclone that affected portions of Mexico and the U.S. states of Texas and Louisiana during June 2024. The first named storm of the extremely active 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Alberto originated on June 12 from a broad area of disturbed weather resulting from a Central American Gyre feature that later developed into an area of low pressure in the Bay of Campeche. The disturbance was designated Potential Tropical Cyclone One by the National Hurricane Center on June 17. Two days later, the disturbance strengthened into a tropical storm and was assigned the name Alberto. The next day, Alberto peaked with sustained winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) before making landfall near Tampico, Tamaulipas. After landfall, Alberto rapidly weakened and dissipated nine hours after landfall on June 20. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 50 mph (45 knots), lowest pressure 992 mb. June 17 – June 20, 2024. Landfall: June 20 at 50 mph, 22.4°N 97.8°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 0.8. Wiki link Track: NOAA National Hurricane Center, HURDAT2 best track AL012024 (public domain).
