Tropical Storm Imelda was the fourth-wettest tropical cyclone on record in the U.S. state of Texas, causing devastating and record-breaking floods in southeast Texas. The eleventh tropical cyclone and ninth named storm of the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season, Imelda formed out of an upper-level low that developed in the Gulf of Mexico and moved westward. Little development occurred until the system was near the Texas coastline, where it rapidly developed into a tropical storm before moving ashore shortly afterward on September 17. Imelda weakened after landfall, but continued bringing large amounts of flooding rain to Texas and Louisiana, before dissipating on September 21. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 45 mph (40 knots), lowest pressure 1003 mb. September 17 – September 19, 2019. Landfall: September 17 at 45 mph, 28.9°N 95.4°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 0.2.
