Gulf of Mexico holds possible disturbance, National Hurricane Center reports
The National Hurricane Center started monitoring a possible disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico Wednesday.
As of Thursday morning, the area of potential development has a 30% chance of becoming a tropical storm.
In a tweet, the National Weather Service of Corpus Christi said it and the National Hurricane Center won’t know more until the beginning of next week. Still, residents should take precautions during hurricane season and stock up on supplies, create an evacuation plan and sign up for Reverse Alert emergency notifications.
The city of Corpus Christi and Nueces County partnered to provide the emergency alert program for citizens. It allows officials to alert the public about a potential safety hazard or concern through a voice or text message.
Sign up by texting BEREADYCCNC to 888777 to receive alerts.
