Tropical Storm Arthur Brings Flood Threat

Tropical Storm Arthur, the earliest named storm of the Atlantic season, is barreling toward the Gulf Coast with winds of 45 mph and heavy rain—potentially dumping 5 to 10 inches, with some areas seeing up to 20 inches. While not expected to strengthen, the real danger lies in flash floods and urban flooding that could last days after landfall in southwestern Louisiana. Warnings stretch from Texas to Louisiana, with impacts arriving within 12 hours. Though El Niño may mean fewer storms overall, warmer waters could make each one more intense. Don’t let the weak winds fool you—this storm’s heavy rain could cause major inland damage before it even fades by Thursday morning.
