Tropical Storm Arthur Hits Gulf Coast

Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic season, is already unleashing heavy rain and tropical storm-force winds along the Gulf Coast — from Texas to the Florida Panhandle — with life-threatening flash flooding warnings through June 19th. While southern Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, southwestern Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle face the brunt of the storm, Tennessee is largely spared, with only light rain and minor localized flooding expected. Arthur, part of a 21-name list that reuses names from the historic 2020 season, serves as a reminder that hurricane season can start early and deliver surprises — stay alert as we head into warmer months.
