Alberto will be a relatively low impact tropical system for us. We can expect several days of rain and winds gusting to less than tropical storm strength. We are already seeing some rough surf and high risk for rip currents and this will continue. Expect minor tidal flooding with high tides running 1′ to 1.5′ above normal.
The next NHC update is expected at 11 AM.
