2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season

Hurricane Isaias will make landfall in the Gulf South this weekend, but there are plenty of ways to stay safe. Grover from Sesame Street tells us how to prepare for, cope with and rebuild after natural disasters.

Isaias strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane late on Wednesday and is expected to make landfall near the Alabama-Florida line by Saturday morning.

Tropical Storm Isaias has formed off eastern Mexico. Forecasters say it's expected to strengthen into the first hurricane of the Atlantic season before hitting the U.S. Gulf Coast later in the week.

Tropical Storm Bertha has made landfall on the southern tip of Louisiana. The storm, moving slowly along the Gulf Coast on Wednesday, is packing strong winds that extend as much as 100 miles from its center.

Tropical Storm Bertha is expected to weaken in the Gulf of Mexico as it chugs closer to the U.S. But forecasters say it still could bring coastal flooding and heavy rain from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana.

The storm dumped rain across the region — some areas saw 6 to 9 inches in a matter of hours.

The National Weather Service says heavy rain from Tropical Storm Arthur's remnants is falling in southern Louisiana on Thursday morning and is expected to move into Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.
