SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * Ochlockonee River to the MS/AL border A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, in this case in the next 24 to 48 hours. Additional tropical storm watches or warnings will likely be required over the next day or two. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Two was located by aircraft reconnaissance near latitude 28.5 North, longitude 85.4 West. The depression is moving toward the northwest near 3 mph (6 km/h). A slow northwestward motion is expected during the next day or so, followed by a turn toward the west-northwest or west. On the forecast track, the depression will move near or along the northern Gulf coast during the next several days. Aircraft data indicates that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual strengthening is forecast, and the depression is expected to become a tropical storm later today. The estimated minimum central pressure based on data from an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is 1006 mb (29.70 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Tropical Depression Two can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area by tonight into Tuesday. STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the immediate coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Indian Pass to Chassahowitzka, FL...1 to 3 ft MS/AL Border to AL/FL Border...1 to 3 ft Mobile Bay...1 to 3 ft The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?peakSurge. RAINFALL: The tropical depression is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches with locally higher totals around 6 inches through Friday along the Gulf Coast and adjacent inland locations from western Florida to the Middle Texas Coast, including southern portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. This rainfall may produce areas of flash flooding, especially in urban areas. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Tropical Depression Two, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?ero. SURF: Swells generated by the depression are affecting portions of the Gulf coast of Florida and are likely to spread westward during the week. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. A depiction of rip current risk for the United States can be found at: hurricanes.gov/graphics_at2.shtml?ripCurrents NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 700 AM CDT.

  • Tropical Depression Two Forecast Discussion Number 4
    Issued at 400 AM CDT Mon Jul 20 2026 000 WTNT42 KNHC 200850 TCDAT2 Tropical Depression Two Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL022026 400 AM CDT Mon Jul 20 2026 The tropical depression continues to have a fairly unimpressive appearance on satellite imagery, with just a few fragments of deep convection around the circulation center. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft has been sampling the system this morning, finding that the pressure continues to gradually decrease with a peak 925 mb flight level wind of 38 kt. This data is the primary justification for increasing the winds slightly to 30 kt for this advisory. Recon fixes indicate that the depression is now moving slowly northwestward at 320/3 kt. The tropical cyclone remains sandwiched between two mid-level ridges, one to its northwest centered over the Rockies and one to its southeast centered near the Bahamas. Over time, the ridge over the Rockies is expected to become the dominant steering feature as a longwave trough moves into the northeastern United States. The byproduct of this change is that the system should begin to gradually turn more west-northwestward and westward by the middle of this week. This track should bring the cyclone near or along the Gulf coast, approaching the mouth of the Mississippi River by 72 h. The track guidance this cycle has shifted a little northward over these first few days, and the NHC track forecast was also shifted in that direction, blending the simple consensus aid TVCN with the Google DeepMind (GDMI) track guidance. As mentioned previously, the depression's broad structure and mid-level dry air are keeping the convection limited. Thus, its intensification continues to be gradual. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm later today and continue to slowly intensify while the shear remains low to moderate. After 36 h, northeasterly shear is expected to increase markedly, and the guidance is coming into better agreement that this should halt additional intensification after that time. With the northward shift in the track, the tropical cyclone is more likely to be disrupted by land interaction beyond 60 h, and the latest NHC intensity forecast now shows gradual weakening afterwards. This intensity forecast still remains sensitive to the ultimate track, though it is notable that the latest Google DeepMind ensemble mean only tracks the cyclone out to 72 h, suggesting the majority of its members dissipate the system beyond that period. The NHC intensity forecast is a little lower than the previous cycle after 72 h, but it wouldn't be surprising if future adjustments are needed if more guidance trends towards a further inland solution. Key Messages: 1. The depression is expected to gradually strengthen and could bring tropical storm conditions to portions of the Florida Panhandle and Alabama coast beginning tonight into Tuesday, where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect. 2. Interests in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas should monitor the progress of this system, as additional watches could be required for portions of that area over the next day or two. 3. Areas of flash flooding will be possible through Friday along the Gulf Coast and adjacent inland locations from western Florida to the Middle Texas Coast, including southern portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

    Issued at 200 AM PDT Mon Jul 20 2026 041 WTPZ41 KNHC 200833 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Fausto Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP062026 200 AM PDT Mon Jul 20 2026 Although modest northerly vertical wind shear continues to impart a slight tilt to the vortex, a well-established upper-level outflow over the southern semicircle has allowed the convective organization to improve over the past few hours. As a result, the low-level circulation center remains located near the northern edge of the deepest convection, which was confirmed by a recent scatterometer pass. The scatterometer data also sampled peak surface winds of around 45 kt in the southeastern quadrant of the cyclone, which is consistent with the subjective Dvorak intensity estimate from TAFB. Based on the slightly improved satellite presentation and the recent scatterometer data, the initial intensity is raised to 50 kt. The initial motion estimate is toward the west-northwest, or 290/10 kt. A strong subtropical ridge is forecast to build westward in the wake of Elida, steering Fausto on a west-northwestward track during the next couple of days. As the ridge strengthens and expands westward, the cyclone is expected to gradually slow and bend slightly more westward through Wednesday. Thereafter, Fausto should resume a west-northwestward motion while accelerating later in the forecast period. The NHC track forecast is very similar to the previous advisory and lies near the multi-model consensus (HCCA) and the Google DeepMind ensemble mean. Although modest northerly shear is likely contributing to Fausto's asymmetric structure, the overall environment remains conducive for strengthening, with warm sea surface temperatures, deep moisture, and improving upper-level conditions. Steady strengthening is expected today, followed by a period of rapid intensification forecast over the next couple of days, with Fausto forecast to become a hurricane within the next 24 hours. The cyclone is expected to reach its peak intensity in about 60 hours or around midweek. Thereafter, guidance suggest that decreasing upper-level divergence and a somewhat drier mid-level environment should induce a gradual weakening trend. The latest NHC intensity forecast remains near the middle of the guidance envelope through about 60 h, then lies near the upper end of the guidance envelope thereafter.

  • Tropical Storm Elida Forecast Discussion Number 23
    Issued at 200 AM PDT Mon Jul 20 2026 690 WTPZ45 KNHC 200848 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm Elida Discussion Number 23 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052026 200 AM PDT Mon Jul 20 2026 Satellite imagery shows convection associated with Elida continues to fade as the cyclone encounters cooler sea surface temperatures, drier air, and increasing southwesterly wind shear. A recent partial ASCAT-C pass indicates the system still has winds of around 42 kt, so the initial intensity is held at 45 kt for this advisory. Gradual weakening is expected through the forecast period as the hostile environmental conditions persist, with the cyclone forecast to degenerate into a remnant low and then eventually dissipate into an open trough in a few days. The latest TAFB satellite intensity estimate was too weak to classify because of the lack of persistent deep convection, suggesting that Elida could degenerate into a post-tropical cyclone sooner than currently forecast if these satellite trends continue. Elida has turned toward the north-northwest and appears to be increasing its forward speed, with the latest motion estimated at 340/11 kt. This north-northwestward then northward motion should continue the next few days as the cyclone moves between a deep-layer trough to its northwest and a ridge centered over the southwestern United States. The NHC track forecast is near the previous, and lies near the corrected consensus HCCA.
