A cluster of storms along the Gulf Coast of Texas could become the first tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. The National Hurricane Center in Miami says the storm system is expected to bring intense rain to southern states including Texas and Louisiana this week. An advisory issued Tuesday morning said the center of the storms is about 65 miles southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas. Maximum sustained winds were 30 mph, just shy of the 39 mph needed to be named a tropical storm. The storms could cause problems even if the system never gets a name. Heavy downpours could lead to life-threatening flash flooding.

It was moving northeast at 2 miles per hour. A tropical storm warning is in effect from Laguna de Chacahua in Oaxaca to Tecpan de Galeana in Guerrero. The hurricane center says the storm is forecast to make landfall along the coast of Guerrero by Monday evening. Boris isn’t expected to impact Mexico’s three World Cup host cities.
