Hurricane Season occurred at 11:15 am this morning. Tropical
Depression #2 formed in the western Gulf of Mexico at 8:00 am this
morning just offshore of the southern Texas/northern Mexican
coastline, and just a mere few hours later made landfall on the
southern end of South Padre Island, Texas.
Tropical Depression #2 currently has winds of 35 mph and is moving to
the northwest at 15 mph. The Depression will continue to bring heavy
rains and gusty winds to portions of southern Texas today, where
flooding may become a concern as the ground remains well saturated
from the rains of Hurricane Alex which made landfall on the
northeastern Mexican coastline as a Category 2 hurricane last week.
Hurricane Alex was the first June hurricane to form in the Atlantic
Basin since 1995.
Have a great day,
Lauren
