Tropical storm watch issued along Texas, Louisiana Coast
Tropical storm watch issued along Texas, Louisiana Coast storms/hurricane Tropical storm watch issued for Texas, Louisiana Gulf Coast. A major flood threat extends into Deep South The first storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season could form by Wednesday. But heavy rain is a bigger concern. By Caitlin Kaiser , Jonathan Erdman and Jennifer Gray • 12 hours ago Updated: June 16, 2026, 11:00 am EDT Published: June 10, 2026, 8:16 am EDT Tropical Storm Arthur could form near the Texas Gulf Coast by Wednesday, but even if it doesn't develop, days of heavy rain will trigger flash flooding in the South, from Texas to Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. The National Hurricane Center has issued tropical storm watches for the northwestern Gulf Coast from Sargent, Texas to Morgan City, Louisiana. This means that winds of 39 mph or higher are possible in the coming days. The system has now been called Potential Tropical Cyclone One by the National Hurricane Center. A potential tropical cyclone, or PTC, is a disturbance that has not yet developed into a tropical cyclone but poses the threat of bringing tropical storm conditions to land areas within 72 hours.

Rain along the Gulf Coast could become the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season By: David Fischer, Associated Press - June 16, 2026 This GOES-19 GeoColor satellite image provided by NOAA, shows a storm system forming along the Gulf coast of Texas, on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. (NOAA via AP) Tornadoes were possible from the upper Texas coast across southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, forecasters said. MIAMI (AP) — A cluster of storms along the Gulf Coast could become the first named tropical storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, the National Hurricane Center said. The storms threatened to bring heavy downpours that could lead to dangerous floods across southern states including Texas and Louisiana. The system was centered Tuesday afternoon about 55 miles (85 kilometers) south-southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas, according to a hurricane center advisory. National Hurricane Center director Michael Brennan said meteorologists are expecting the system to strengthen, possibly into a tropical storm by early Wednes…

Potential Tropical Cyclone One forms off Texas coast, threatening ... - WTVB By Sheila Dang and Ashitha Shivaprasad HOUSTON, June 16 (Reuters) – A tropical storm was expected to form off the Texas coast by Wednesday morning from a system labeled Potential Tropical Cyclone One, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Tuesday, warning of heavy rainfall and dangerous flash flooding along the energy corridor that includes major offshore drilling and onshore refineries. Those refineries have so far ​taken only preliminary precautions of securing plants’ loose items that could be thrown around by high winds expected when the storm ‌comes onshore near the Texas-Louisiana border as early as Wednesday. Shell Plc said there had been no impact on the offshore production platforms from the forming storm. BP said it was monitoring the storm’s progress. Much of the U.S.-regulated production in the northern Gulf of Mexico is south and east of the forecast path of the weak storm system. The potential tropical cyclone — about 65 miles (105 km) southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas — would take the name Arthur if it strengthens and becomes the first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic ‌hurricane seaso…

Tropical disturbance could bring dangerous rainfall to Gulf Coast
Tropical disturbance could bring dangerous rainfall to Gulf Coast Share Add Us On Google Add as a preferred source on Google BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - A broad area of low pressure spinning over northern Mexico is expected to interact with a cold front moving across Texas, potentially re-emerging over the northwestern Gulf by Tuesday or Wednesday. Once this system reaches the warmer gulf waters, environmental conditions could support the formation of a short-lived tropical storm Wednesday into Thursday, according to the National Hurricane Center. The National Hurricane Center is giving the system a 40% chance of tropical development over the next 48 hours and a 50% chance through the next seven days. Heavy Rainfall Expected Regardless The biggest concern isn’t necessarily whether this system becomes a tropical storm—it’s the rain it will bring. Regardless of tropical cyclone formation, the Texas coastline, along with portions of Louisiana and Mississippi, should prepare for periods of intense rainfall over the next several days. This rainfall could produce instances of flash flooding, urban flooding, and river flooding across the region. Gusty winds and coastal flooding are also possib…
