Tropical Storm Alberto has changed little in intensity since becoming the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season on Saturday. Wind shear appears to be affecting the storm, as it is taking on an elongated shape, visible in this image from the NOAA GOES-13 satellite taken on March 21, 2012 at 1845z. The National Hurricane Center predicts that the storm may dissipate within the next 48-72 hours.
