Tropical Storm Beta: What You Need to Know
Tropical Storm Beta is approaching the Gulf Coast and could bring rainfall to West Alabama later this week.
Beta is currently baring down on the Texas Gulf Coast and will slowly move east before taking a northeasterly turn later in the week. As Beta moves inland, the storm could bring two to four inches of rain to portions of Alabama.
For a more in-depth look at the forecast, take a look at the latest ABC 33/40 Weather Xtreme video below.
The 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season has already exhausted its annual list of names, with Beta being the second named storm from the Greek Alphabet. This is the first time Greek Alphabet names have been used since 2005.
