Tropical Storm Remnants Drench Gulf States After Tornadoes Hit the Midwest
Arthur is now a post-tropical cyclone, but the National Hurricane Center says its moisture could still bring life-threatening flooding and an isolated tornado threat.
- On Thursday, June 18, 2026, the National Hurricane Center downgraded Tropical Storm Arthur to a post-tropical low-pressure area, though the system continued dumping heavy rain across the Gulf Coast causing life-threatening flash flooding.
- Forecasters warn the system will produce rainfall totals ranging from 5 to 10 inches, with isolated areas reaching 20 inches, threatening Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle through Friday.
- Communities across affected states are preparing, with officials in Picayune, Mississippi, declaring a state of emergency on Tuesday while authorities warn of isolated tornado risk through Thursday.
- Tracking northeastward, the remnants of Arthur could redevelop over the western Atlantic once the system emerges off the Carolina coast late Friday, the National Hurricane Center said.
- The Atlantic basin is expected to settle down for the remainder of June, with meteorologists projecting no additional tropical development until at least the middle of next week.
