Tropical Storm Don formed from a tropical low pressure area in the southern Gulf of Mexico. This storm is moving west northwest at 11 miles per hour and is encountering some unfavorable upper level shear that will prevent this storm from gaining much strength. At this time, persons from northeastern Mexico to Galveston, Texas, should be monitoring this storm system. It will make landfall late Friday evening July 29 or very early Saturday morning July 30 and will bring significant rainfall to southeastern Texas. Some lowlands flooding is possible as well as some tornado activity, high Tropical Storm winds and beach erosion due to high surf. Persons in the affected area should monitor local media and NHC broadcasts concerning Tropical Storm Don.
