Tropical Storm Arthur continues to churn in the Gulf

Дата публикации: 16-06-2026 13:09:17



All eyes are on the Texas Gulf Coast, with the first tropical storm of the season, Tropical Storm Arthur.
“The main hazard with these types of systems is largely the flooding from the heavy rainfall,” said NHC Director Michael Brennan. “And we could see potentially life-threatening flash and urban flooding across the Texas coast eastward into central Mississippi through Thursday. Prolonged rainfall may extend the flood threat into the weekend.”
Tropical storms earn a name when the system has a warm central core, and maximum sustained winds are at least 39 mph.
Where is the system?
Tropical Storm Arthur is located near the Texas Gulf Coast. It is moving northeastward.
Where is it headed?
This system will continue to move along the Texas Gulf Coast. Eventually, it will affect the Louisiana Gulf Coast. By Thursday, it should weaken across northeast Louisiana and southwest Mississippi.
The primary impact of heavy rain
The primary weather impact across the Texas Gulf Coast into the Lower Mississippi Valley will be the threat of widespread, heavy rainfall and flooding. This area extends into Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
Numerous Flood Watches are in effect. Tropical Storm Arthur is expected to produce rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with isolated higher totals near 20 inches, through early Friday.
If you are planning on traveling in this area, please use caution or avoid travel. In fact, more than 50% of flash-flood deaths happen in vehicles driven into floodwaters. Many victims are swept away when cars stall or float in moving water. Always, TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!
More impacts: Wind, storm surge, rip currents and tornadoes
Although the main threat will be heavy rainfall, other impacts from the storm will include wind, storm surge, rip currents and tornadoes.
A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect from Sargent, Texas to Morgan City, Louisiana.
A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected within the warned area.
Storm surge from Port Bolivar, Texas, to Morgan City, Louisiana, could reach 2 to 4 feet.
Tornadoes will be possible through Thursday from the Upper Texas Coast into southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and the western Florida Panhandle.
2026 storm names
Tropical storms are named from lists by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization.
The lists of names appear in alphabetical order, alternating male and female.
What happens when you run out of names? When the primary list of Atlantic hurricane names is exhausted in a season, a supplemental list of storm names is used. This secondary list runs alphabetically from Adria to Will, allowing for additional storms without causing naming confusion.
