The remnants of Arthur are gone as the system pushed off the Eastern Seaboard on Friday.
Arthur was the first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. The storm formed in the western Gulf off the mid-Texas coast Wednesday.
Portions of the Deep South saw up to a foot of rainfall. A high risk of excessive rainfall (rain heavy enough to cause flash flooding) was issued for parts of southern Mississippi and Alabama on Thursday.
Rainfall continues in the Southeast through the weekend, as a cold front is staged through the middle portions of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. This front will force moisture that is continuing to flow in from the Gulf up into the atmosphere, resulting in torrential downpours at times.
Flash flooding remains a possibility in areas already saturated from continuous rainfall over the last 48 hours. There have been numerous reports of flooded over roadways throughout the Southeast over the last two days. Extra caution is encouraged if you are traveling through any of these storms, as roadways could easily begin flooding.
