As of the NHC\u2019s 8 a.m. advisory, the center of what is now named Potential Tropical Cyclone One was located about 15 miles east-southeast of Port O\u2019Connor, Texas and 220 miles southwest of Lake Charles, Louisiana with maximum sustained winds of 30 mph and moving northeast at 7 mph.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn increase in forward speed is expected today. On the forecast track, the low pressure area should move northeastward along the Texas coast today and then move inland over southwestern Louisiana by tonight,\u201d forecasters said. \u201cSome strengthening is forecast, and the disturbance could become a tropical storm today.\u201d<\/p>\n

If it becomes a named storm, it would be Tropical Storm Arthur, the first of the 2026 season for the Atlantic basin.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0tropical storm warning issued Tuesday remains in effect along the Louisiana coast from Sabine Pass, Texas, east to Morgan City while a tropical storm watch remains in effect from Sargent, Texas to Sabine Pass.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeakening is anticipated once the low moves inland, and it could dissipate by tonight or early Thursday,\u201d forecasters said.<\/p>\n
