Tropical Storm Humberto




24 hours ago, Humberto was just a minor disturbance off the coast of Texas, but now he has blossomed into a decent tropical storm. Warm Gulf of Mexico waters have helped to strengthen Humberto into a tropical storm. Humberto's set to make landfall early Thursday morning along the Louisiana and Texas coasts. Winds could gust as high as 70 mph at landfall; however, Humberto will weaken before it can strengthen into a minor hurricane. 5 to 10 inches of rainfall could fall along Humberto's path, causing inland flooding concerns.

We won't see the floodng, but SE OK and SW AR may see isolated showers and storms on Thursday. Fortunately, Humberto won't stick around for long, he'll be swept northeast by a trough over the southwest.
