Part of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season

Tropical Storm Arthur was a short-lived tropical cyclone that brought flash flooding to portions of the Southern United States. The first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, the system’s origins can be tracked back to when a tropical wave combined with the remnants of Tropical Storm Cristina just east of the Yucatán Peninsula.[1][2] The disturbance was tracked as it made its way into the Gulf of Mexico and eventually into Mexico where it interacted with a frontal boundary.[3] Upon reaching the coast of the U.S. state of Texas, it was labeled as a potential tropical cyclone and eventually a tropical storm becoming named Arthur on June 17.[4][5] It did not last long due to an ill-defined center and being affected by strong wind shear, degenerating into a post-tropical cyclone and opening into a trough early the following morning after making landfall near Galveston.

As of June 18, at least four people were confirmed to have been killed as a result of Arthur. Aon estimated damages to be greater than US$100 million.[6]

A tropical wave combined with the remnant moisture of Pacific Tropical Storm Cristina entered the Bay of Campeche on June 12.[1] The disturbance was monitored by the National Hurricane Center as it traveled generally westward across the Gulf of Mexico and moved ashore in northeastern Mexico on June 14 and began interacting with a frontal boundary inland.[3] The disturbance was designated as a potential tropical cyclone while located over southern Texas at 15:00 UTC on June 16, producing widespread convection but lacking a well-defined center.[4] Development of the storm was enabled with sea surface temperatures above 83.5 °F (28.6 °C) off the Texas coast.[7] The following day on June 17 at 15:00 UTC, the system became Tropical Storm Arthur after convective organization proved sufficient for classification.[5]

Arthur was poorly organized, under a hostile environment of strong westerly wind shear, most of Arthur’s deep convection remained displaced from its low-level circulation (LLC), managing to peak with sustained winds of 45 mph (70 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 999 mb (29.5 inHg) in accordance with reconnaissance data and surface observations.[8] Later that same day, the NHC had analyzed that Arthur had weakened some as it began to undergo a center relocation as the old circulation went on to make landfall near Matagorda County, Texas, with a new LLC reforming near Galveston, Texas, driven by an offshore convective burst.[9] Despite the reformation of a new center, no organized convection developed around the new center as it elongated as a consequence. As a result, Arthur was deemed a post-tropical cyclone as it was located northeast of Galveston inland on June 18 at 03:00 UTC.[10] The NHC continued to track the remnants of Arthur for possible redevelopment off the U.S. East Coast as the storm trekked northeastward.[11] The next day, strong upper-level wind shear and Arthur’s merging with a nearby frontal system inhibited the chances for possible redevelopment as it was located off the southeastern coast.[12][13]

Preparations

The precursor disturbance to Arthur bringing heavy rainfall to Texas.

Tropical storm watches were issued from Sargent, Texas, to Morgan City, Louisiana, on June 16 upon designation as a potential tropical cyclone.[14] This was later upgraded to a tropical storm warning between Sabine Pass and Morgan City.[15] The following day, the tropical storm warning was extended to Sargent.[16] Flood watches were issued at least 16 million people from South Texas to Central Mississippi.[17][18] After Arthur developed, Flood Watches were extended further east to South Georgia.[19]

Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, issued a state of emergency for 101 counties and ordered the Texas Division of Emergency Management to increase 24-hour operations and activate resources.[20] Sandbag distributions were organized across Texas.[21][22] In Houston, festivals for the 2026 FIFA World Cup were cancelled for June 15 and shortened on June 16.[21] Despite the storm, a World Cup match between Portugal and the Democratic Republic of the Congo scheduled for June 17 was not cancelled because the stadium had a covered roof.[23] This was the first World Cup game to be played in the vicinity of a tropical cyclone.[24] Several school districts across Texas halted programs and activities during the passage of the storm.[17][25] Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi moved work and classes online while the Kingsville campus delayed opening till 10:00, both on June 16.[25]

Several parishes in Louisiana distributed sandbags in anticipation of the storm.[26] Evacuations were required in parts of Southeast Louisiana as several creeks were expected to overflow their banks.[27] Residents in part of the New Orleans metropolitan area was asked to stay clear of bodies of water. Pumping stations and drainage systems were cleared to prepare for heavy rainfall, while additional pumping equipment was brought to assist stations that were offline.[28]

A senior center in Wiggins, Mississippi opened as a shelter.[29] Those around the Jourdan River were urged to evacuate before the water levels crested.[30] Double red flags were flown on beaches in Baldwin County, Alabama.[31] Mobile County closed county offices.[32] Bishop State Community College closed all campuses, partially for Juneteenth.[32] Officials in Santa Rosa County, Florida, offered free sandbag filling at four stations.[33]

Impact

Mexico

Plan DN-III-E was activated.[34]

In Veracruz, damage was reported in 13 municipalities, including damage to 84 homes.[35] Dozens of landslides occurred across the state.[35] Coxquihui had the most reported damaged homes as a result of flooding in the Arroyo Cocinero.[35] Over 100 mm (3.9 in) of rain fell in Xalapa.[35] Damage occurred on a bridge in Espinal.[36] Teams were deployed in Xalapa and Veracruz to aid with clean up efforts.[36]

In Coahuila, flooding caused road closures, including Fed. 29 in Morelos and Zaragoza.[37] In some parts of the state, over five inches (130 mm) of rain fell in two hours.[37] There were river floods affecting Piedras Negras and eight inches (200 mm) of rain fell.[34] Pumping equipment was placed in Piedras Negras to drain out floodwater.[38] Two meal centers and a shelter were opened for those affected by the rains.[34][38] One person died in Piedras Negras.[34] The Rio Grande (Río Bravo) in Coahuila exceeded 3.5 m (11 ft) in some locations.[39]

In Tamaulipas, between 70% and 80% of roads in Ciudad Victoria were damaged by heavy rains according to the mayor of the city.[40] Support teams were formed to clean the city after the storm.[40] Heavy rainfall worsened a sewage leakage in Tampico.[41]

United States

Texas

Flooding in Brazoria County, Texas, due to Arthur.

Flash flooding occurred across Texas due to Arthur and its precursor.[42] In Central Texas, dozens of roads were closed to flooding.[43] The city of Waco recorded 2.72 inches (69 mm) of rain on June 14. Flooding stalled several vehicles on I-35 near Robinson and on roadways in Hewitt. An RV Park had to be evacuated due to flooding while emergency responders rescued an individual who had climbed a tree to escape floodwaters near Midway High School.[44] At least 20 people were rescued from floodwaters in Waco.[45] A county road in Milam County was washed out.[43] The Barton Springs Pool was closed due to flooding in Austin.[46] Over 100 low-water crossings were closed across the Austin area. A water rescue occurred in South Austin as a driver attempted to navigate a blocked crossing and was swept away by floodwaters. Camp Mabry set a daily rainfall record for June 15, measuring 3 in (76 mm) of rain within a few hours, surpassing the previous record set in 1964. Other rain gauges along the Colorado River reported rainfall amounts up to 4.5 in (110 mm) and a floodgate at Tom Miller Dam was released. Waymo temporarily suspended operations in Austin amidst flooding.[47] Rainfall at San Antonio International Airport on June 15 reached 2.6 in (66 mm), beating the daily record of 1.68 in (43 mm) set on June 15, 1894.[48] Rainfall up to 6 in (150 mm) caused widespread flooding across Kendall County. Several roads were flooded across the area, and some water crossings had to be closed for several days for damage inspections. Flooding also occurred in Kerr County, though less significant than flooding that occurred along the Guadalupe River the previous year.[49]

On June 15, Weslaco received 6 in (150 mm) of rain causing floodwaters to enter homes.[50] Due to roads being flooded, Sinton Independent School District halted summer school, testing, and food distribution.[25] At one point, over 9,000 customers reported power outages in South Texas.[51] Additional power outages affecting roughly 2,000 customers each occurred in Galveston and in the Texas CityLa Marque areas.[52] Heavy rainfall affected Brazoria County, accumulating to over 8 in (200 mm) in parts of Freeport and Clute. However, the worst of the flooding was avoided due to water levels in drainage systems being lowered before the storm.[53] Two occupants were rescued from a vehicle that became stranded in rising floodwater in Freeport.[54] As a result of heavy rainfall from Arthur and previous storms, the San Jacinto River Authority released water from Lake Conroe to prevent flooding.[55] The storm's impact bypassed much of Houston but the city received several inches of rain, and portions of Interstate 10 near the city closed.[24][56]

One person was killed due to floodwaters in Bandera.[57] Another drowned in a flooded retention pond near Houston.[58]

Louisiana

Damage to a manufactured home from an EF1 tornado in Avondale, Louisiana.

Rainfall totals in Louisiana peaked at 29.06 inches (738 mm) in Cottonport, making it the most rainfall recorded in the state during a 24-hour period, surpassing the record set by a tropical depression in 1962.[59] The Tchefuncte River overflowed, impacting surrounding buildings in St. Tammany Parish and leading to evacuations and water rescues.[60] Plaucheville was left stranded due to floodwaters and water infiltrated homes.[61] Several water pumps and drainage pumps went offline during the storm.[62] In Jefferson Parish, at least one person was injured when a tornado hit a mobile home.[62] Across the state, there were eleven confirmed tornadoes, the strongest being of EF1 strength.[63] Around 39,520 residents were left without power across the state.[64] A 12-car train derailment was reported.[65] Downed trees and power lines on the tracks also forced Amtrak to run a bus bridge for its Mardi Gras Service between New Orleans and Bay St. Louis, Mississippi on June 18.[66][67] The same day, Amtrak's Crescent was also forced to use bus transportation between New Orleans and Birmingham, Alabama and the northbound City of New Orleans was also delayed departing departing New Orleans due to downed trees and power lines.[68][69][70] A new power complex for drainage in New Orleans fell offline after a voltage drop.[71] In Kenner, 50 to 70 stranded vehicles were reported. In Slidell, an eighteen wheeler flipped over.[72] At least 200 homes in Avoyelles Parish were flooded.[30]

After reviewing damages, the Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, declared a state of emergency for several parishes in the state.[73]

Elsewhere

On Interstate 59 in Mississippi, rain from the predecessor to Arthur left the highway submerged in over a foot (0.31 m) of water.[74] Many other major roads were closed in Pearl River and Hancock Counties.[75] A road worker died working on clean up efforts after Arthur in Franklin County.[75] A dam on Anchor Lake presented a threat of failing, prompting the evacuation of 30 homes.[76] Officials drained the lake to reduce strain on the dam's systems.[77] Approximately 38 people were rescued from floodwaters.[30] The governor of the state, Tate Reeves, declared a state of emergency for impacted areas.[78] Three tornadoes were confirmed across the state.[63]

Alabama State Route 198 partially closed to flash flooding.[79] Over 20,000 customers lost power in Alabama, primarily in Mobile County.[80]

Around 100 customers in Escambia County, Florida, lost power.[80]

Over 4,800 people lost power due to the storms in Georgia, and several fan festivals for the 2026 FIFA World Cup were also cancelled.[81] A ground stop was also issued for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.[81] Ten tornadoes were confirmed in Central Georgia.[82]

Over 2,000 people lost power in Brunswick County, North Carolina.[83]
