Atlantic Tropical Update – Tuesday 6/16/26 – 1110 AM EDT/1010 AM CDT – Potential Tropical Cyclone-1 (PTC-1) Over The South Texas Coast

Hello to all…

An area of low pressure over South Texas is expected to move offshore the Texas coast and has a medium chance, 60%, of becoming a short-lived tropical depression or tropical storm. The main threat from this system will be heavy rainfall, flooding and perhaps severe thunderstorms. This low pressure area is not expected to reach hurricane strength but the VoIP Hurricane Net Management Team will continue to monitor the progress of this system. The National Hurricane Center has initiated Potential Tropical Cyclone (PTC-1) advisories as of 11 AM EDT/10 AM CDT – Tuesday 6/16/26 and a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect from Sargent TX to Morgan City LA. Advisories on this PTC-1 are available off the main menu of the VoIP Hurricane Net web site and the National Hurricane Center web site at the following link:
