🌴 Tropical Update | July 19, 2026 🌴

The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor Invest AL91 over the northeastern Gulf of America. Satellite data indicate the area of low pressure is becoming better organized, and a tropical depression could form during the next couple of days as it moves slowly north or northwest.

πŸŒ€ Development Chances:

β€’ 48 Hours: 60% (Medium)
β€’ 7 Days: 60% (Medium)

🌧️ Primary Impacts

The greatest threat for heavy rainfall currently extends from the Florida Panhandle westward across Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, where localized flooding could develop over the next several days.

πŸ“ What About Texas?

At this time, significant direct impacts to Texas are not expected. However, Southeast Texas could continue to experience increased Gulf moisture, leading to scattered showers, thunderstorms, and locally heavy rainfall at times. Rip current risk and elevated surf may also increase along portions of the Upper Texas Coast depending on the system’s eventual track and strength.

✈️ An Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the disturbance later today if necessary. While confidence is increasing that some tropical development will occur, there is still uncertainty regarding the exact track and intensity.

If you have travel plans anywhere along the northern Gulf Coast this week, stay informed and monitor the latest forecasts. Weather Insights will continue providing updates as new information becomes available.
