Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named storm of the 2026 hurricane season, formed Wednesday morning in the Gulf. FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says it is traveling along the Texas coast and notes that there is not a lot going on near the center of the storm. As it works its way northeast, Weber says the system will weaken as it makes its way back on shore. Tropical Storm Arthur had winds of 40 miles per hour as of 11 a.m., but he noted that the biggest threat with Arthur is the rain. The storm is expected to drop five to ten inches of rain with some locations getting 20 inches of rain. He added that it will impact a good portion of the Southeastern portion of the United States, including the Florida panhandle.
