Disturbance 22 | July 22, 2020

Disturbance 22 (StormGeo’s own identifier until named by NHC) is currently 565 miles ESE of Corpus Christi, Texas with current max wind speeds of 35 mph gusting to 45 mph.

All indicates are that this disturbance will become a tropical depression within the next 12 hours, and a tropical storm within the next 24-36 hours. It is possible that max sustained winds could be a little stronger than 45 mph at landfall. In addition, it appears that the storm will slow down as it approaches the Texas coast on Friday, which may delay landfall until Saturday morning, leading to an increased risk of heavy rainfall along the Texas coast and inland across south-central Texas this weekend.
