From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Potential Tropical Cyclone Four was a weak tropical disturbance that impacted northeastern Mexico and southern Texas in August 2022. As of June 2024, it is one of only three systems to be designated a Potential Tropical Cyclone and not form, along with Potential Tropical Cyclone Ten of the 2017 and Potential Tropical Cyclone Seventeen-E of the 2019.[1][2] The disturbance was first noted as a tropical wave in the central Caribbean Sea on August 15.[3] The system emerged in the southern Gulf of Mexico early on August 19, producing disorganized showers.[4] It was this point when the National Hurricane Center (NHC) started to issue advisories on the system as Potential Tropical Cyclone Four at 21:00 UTC. as the disturbance moved across the western Gulf, Four failed to develop a defined center and at the same time, deep convection significantly decreased. The disturbance moved inland over northeastern Mexico on 00:00 UTC on August 21 and soon after, dissipated.[5]
