Subtropical storm Alberto, the first named storm of the 2018 hurricane season, made landfall Monday afternoon near Laguna Beach, Florida. Alberto is bringing heavy rain and flash floods along parts of the Florida Panhandle. Alberto's top winds are 75 kilometers per hour. The storm is expected to dump as much as 30 centimeters of rain on parts of Florida, Alabama and Georgia. But Alberto is likely to be a fast-moving, short-lived storm. Forecasters predict it will denigrate into what they call a "remnant low" by the time it moves inland toward the Tennessee Valley Tuesday afternoon. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1 until the end of November. Experts predict 10 to 16 named storms this year with up to nine developing into hurricanes, including as many as four major hurricanes. Last year was an exceptionally busy hurricane season, with Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria devastating Puerto Rico, Houston, Texas, and the Florida Gulf Coast. 2018年飓风季节的首个被命名的风暴“副热带风暴阿尔伯托”星期一下午在佛罗里达州拉古纳海滩附近登陆。 阿尔伯托携带着暴雨和阵发洪水侵袭了佛罗里达州的狭长地带。 风暴阿尔伯托的最高风速为每小时75公里。风暴预计将为佛罗里达、阿拉巴马和乔治亚州部分地区带来多达30厘米的降雨。 但是阿尔伯托可能是一场快速移动，过程很短的风暴。气象预报估计，这场风暴星期二下午向田纳西河谷移动时减弱为他们所称的“残留低气压”。 |
