Tropical Storm Arthur Heads for Land

Tropical Storm Arthur just became the first named storm of 2026, forming off Texas and barreling northeast with 40 mph winds. While it may strengthen over warm Gulf waters, wind shear will likely keep it from becoming a major hurricane before landfall Wednesday night. The real danger? Life-threatening flash and urban flooding expected across Louisiana, southern Mississippi, and spreading into southeast Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle through Thursday — with heavy rain lingering even after the storm passes.
