Weather Alerts For Sabine Pass, TX

# SUMMARY -------------------- This product covers Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas \*\*TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE TEXAS AND LOUISIANA COAST\*\* NEW INFORMATION --------------- - CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - None - CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for East Cameron, Lower Iberia, Lower Jefferson, Lower St. Mary, Lower Vermilion, and West Cameron - STORM INFORMATION: - About 190 miles west-southwest of Lake Charles LA or about 140 miles southwest of Beaumont TX - 28.9N 96.1W - Storm Intensity 45 mph - Movement North-northeast or 15 degrees at 7 mph SITUATION OVERVIEW ------------------ The center of Tropical Storm Arthur is now inland over the central Texas gulf coast. Nearly all of the showers and thunderstorms associated with Arthur are displaced in bands well to the east of the center across Louisiana and the northwestern gulf. Tropical storm warnings remain in effect for the coasts of southeast Texas as well as southwestern and south central Louisiana for the potential of gusts to tropical storm force. Wind gusts of 25-40 MPH can be expected along the southwest and south central Louisiana coasts with wind gusts up to 25 MPH inland. Long duration heavy rainfall from Arthur may still produce heavy rain and flash flooding across portions of south central Louisiana this afternoon and tonight. Rainfall totals of one half to 2 inches are expected with locally higher amounts of 2 to 6 inches possible within tropical rain bands. Coastal flooding with surge values of 1- 3 feet are peaking this afternoon and should begin to recede as tides flow out this evening into tonight. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- - FLOODING RAIN: Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant impacts across south central Louisiana. Potential impacts include: - Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations and rescues. - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places, especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches overflow. - Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow. Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge closures. Protect against locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible limited impacts across southwest and central Louisiana. - SURGE: Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts across coastal portions of southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana as well as the coastal lakes and bays. Potential impacts in this area include: - Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore. - Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots become overspread with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where surge water covers the road. - Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents. - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings. Elsewhere across Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, little to no impact is anticipated. - WIND: Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across coastal portions of southwest and south central Louisiana. Potential impacts in this area include: - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about. - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over. - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways. - Scattered power and communications outages. Elsewhere across Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas, little to no impact is anticipated. - TORNADOES: Protect against a dangerous tornado event having possible significant impacts across south central Louisiana Potential impacts include: - The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the execution of emergency plans during tropical events. - Several places may experience tornado damage with a few spots of considerable damage, power loss, and communications failures. - Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and boats tossed about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- - EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials. - OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: Rapidly rising flood waters are deadly. If you are in a flood-prone area, consider moving to higher ground. Never drive through a flooded roadway. Remember, turn around don't drown! Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes to the forecast. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather warnings. - ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov - For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org - For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in Lake Charles LA around 10 PM CDT, or sooner if conditions warrant. # DETAILS -------------------- ISSUED AT Wednesday, June 17, 2026 at 4:16 PM CDT ISSUED BY National Weather Service Lake Charles LA AL012026 HEADER Tropical Storm Arthur Local Statement Advisory Number 7

There is a Marginal Severe Storm Risk for your location. Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF ILLINOIS AND INDIANA THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT OVER SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI SUMMARY Numerous severe thunderstorms are expected this afternoon into tonight, with the peak threat centered over Illinois and Indiana. Intense tornadoes, swaths of damaging gusts over 75 mph and damaging wind-driven large hail will all be possible. MO/IL/IN An intense and fast-moving shortwave trough continues to approach the Midwest today, with an associated 90+ knot mid level jet streaking across the region. A very strong southerly low-level jet precedes this trough, and has resulted in widespread thunderstorms over central IL. The effects of this early convection will be important to the mesoscale details of where the main risk of severe storms will develop later today. The primary outflow boundary from ongoing storms currently extends from extreme northeast MO into south-central IL, and continues to sag southward. Strong heating is occurring to the south of the boundary, and given the intense low-level flow, some northward return is expected. However, it appears unlikely to substantially destabilize as far north as earlier forecasts. The zone in vicinity of the boundary will become very unstable by mid-late afternoon, with forecast soundings continuing to show impressive shear values and hodograph structures suggestive of tornadic supercell potential. Very large hail and damaging winds will also be possible with this activity as it tracks quickly eastward into central IN. Strong tornadoes are possible. By mid-evening, a line of severe storms will likely extend from central MO into southern IN, with damaging winds becoming the primary threat. Southeast MN A small area of heating/destabilization has developed near the surface low over southern MN. Cold temperatures aloft and strong deep-layer shear suggests a threat of a few severe storms capable of hail and gusty/damaging winds this afternoon. LA/MS Tropical Storm Arthur will track northward and affect LA and southern MS tonight. A zone of strong southerly low-level winds to the east of the circulation will result in some concern for overnight and pre-dawn tornadoes across southeast LA into far southern MS. Southern AZ/NM Scattered afternoon and evening thunderstorms are expected across southeast AZ and southwest NM. Strong heating and ample instability will pose a risk of damaging wind gusts in the strongest cells.
