There is an increasing risk of dangerous wind and storm surge impacts along portions of the northern Gulf Coast. Watches could be required on Wednesday. Residents from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle should closely monitor the latest forecast updates and ensure they have a hurricane plan in place

National Hurricane Center forecast cone for Tropical Depression Nine, issued Tuesday, October 6, 2026. The depression is located over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph. The forecast track takes the system northeast across the Gulf, with strengthening to a hurricane possible before reaching the northern Gulf Coast near the Florida Panhandle Friday. The system is then forecast to move inland through the Southeast and toward the Ohio Valley over the weekend. The cone represents the probable path of the storm’s center and does not show the storm’s size.

Preliminary probability forecast for tropical-storm-force winds from Tropical Depression Nine through Sunday, October 11. The highest probabilities extend from the central Gulf of Mexico northeast toward the northern Gulf Coast, with the greatest chances offshore south of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. Lower probabilities extend into coastal Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

Rip currents are possible this weekend along the East Coast from Maine to Florida. Always follow advice from the local beach patrol and flag warning systems. And check your beach forecast before heading out: weather.gov/beach

Map titled "U.S. Rip Current Risk" showing composite data for September 25-26, 2026, from the NWS National Hurricane Center.

Legend:

Risk Levels: High (red), Moderate (yellow), Low (white), No Data (grey).

Cyclone Types: Depression (red circle outline), Storm (red icon), Hurricane (red hurricane symbol), Post-tropical cyclone or remnants (red circle with 'x').

Map Overview:

East Coast: High (red) rip current risk spans along coastal areas from Southern Florida through Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Long Island, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, with Moderate (yellow) risk extending into Maine, portions of Florida, and Puerto Rico.

Gulf Coast: Mostly grey/white with localized Moderate (yellow) and High (red) risk along the Florida Panhandle and southern Texas coast.

West Coast: High (red) and Moderate (yellow) risk along Southern California.

Offshore Tropical Systems: Hurricane Odalys and Hurricane Polo are shown south/southwest of Mexico in the Pacific.

Rip Currents: Know Your Options. Rip currents are powerful currents of water moving away from shore. They can sweep even the strongest swimmer away from shore. If at all possible, swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current: 1) Relax, rip currents don't pull you under. 2) Don't swim against the current. 3) Swim out of the current, then to shore. 4) If you can't escape, float or tread water. 5) If you need help, yell or wave for assistance. The image shows a rip current as a narrow flow of water moving in a line directly away from the beach, with waves on either side moving in the opposite direction towards the beach. Arrows point away from either side of the current and into the waves, parallel to the beach, indicating the path of escape from the rip current.
