Wednesday 12 PM Tropical Update: Tropical Storm Alberto forms in SW Gulf
SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Alberto has formed in the southwestern Gulf on June 19, slightly ahead of the average first storm date of June 20. Alberto, previously designated as ptc1, is moving west at 9 mph and expects to make landfall in northeastern Mexico early tomorrow, bringing heavy rain and wind. South Texas is experiencing rain and severe storms, including tornado warnings near Corpus Christi. Coastal flooding and strong winds are affecting the area, with wind advisories in effect until 7 PM. The region will stay breezy with potential minor coastal flooding. Drier conditions will start today, with scattered showers possible through Thursday.
Meteorologist Alexa Trischler says Tropical Storm Alberto has formed in SW Gulf delivering heavy rain, wind, and flooding to southern TX and northern Mexico.
SUMMARY: A tropical storm in the Atlantic has been upgraded to a hurricane, currently about 50 miles from the center with warm water and low wind shear aiding its strengthening. It could become a Category 2 hurricane by tomorrow, and possibly a Category 3, approaching the Lesser Antilles by late tomorrow into Monday. Wind shear may weaken it as it moves into the Caribbean. We are monitoring another potential system, Chris, developing near Yucatan, possibly moving into Mexico. We expect hotter, drier weather for the Gulf Coast this week, but will monitor long-term hurricane impacts. An excessive heat warning is in effect, with potential temperatures reaching up to 114°F.
Meteorologist Alexandra Cranford has the forecast at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, 2024.
SUMMARY: CDC officials are investigating a multi-state Salmonella outbreak linked to backyard poultry, affecting 195 people across 38 states, including nine cases in Arkansas as of May 23. Initiated with 109 cases from 29 states on May 23, Arkansas has since reported four additional cases. No deaths have occurred, but 50 people have been hospitalized, including 17 since the initial report, with 41% under age 5. Missouri has the highest cases at 23, followed by Texas with 21. No cases reported in several states including Alaska, Hawaii, and Delaware. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, and nausea. CDC advises against children under 5 touching backyard poultry. More info is available on the CDC’s website.

SUMMARY: LeBron James plans to opt out of his current contract with the Los Angeles Lakers to negotiate a new deal, despite being due $51.4 million for the 2024-25 season. James, turning 40 in December, aims to re-sign with the Lakers to finish his career there. The Lakers are expected to offer him a three-year, $162 million contract. Speculation suggests he might accept a lower salary to free up cap space for other signings. With the recent hiring of coach JJ Redick, and the Lakers drafting his son, Bronny James Jr., LeBron’s return is widely anticipated.
