A storm system forming along the Gulf Coast of Texas may become the first named tropical storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, according to the National Hurricane Center. As of Tuesday afternoon, the system was located about 55 miles south-southwest of Corpus Christi. Heavy rainfall is expected, potentially causing dangerous flooding in Texas and Louisiana. The storm's winds were around 30 mph, just below the threshold for naming. A tropical storm watch is in effect from Sargent, Texas, to Morgan City, Louisiana, with forecasts predicting 4 to 8 inches of rain by Thursday. Tornadoes are also possible in the region.
