The system will bring areas of heavy rainfall to the central U.S. Gulf coast Friday into the weekend. Flash and urban flooding, along with isolated river flooding, will be possible. Visit hurricanes.gov for the latest.

Rainfall forecast for Tropical Depression Nine from Tuesday, October 6 through Sunday, October 11. The heaviest rainfall is forecast over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and near Florida’s Gulf Coast, with roughly 4–8 inches extending toward the coast. Lower totals of generally 1–4 inches extend across much of the Southeast, including portions of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas.

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.

Much higher than typical October temperatures will continue across coastal southern California up through the Bay Area and Central Valley through midweek resulting in result in Major to Extreme HeatRisk. weather.gov

🌡️ A prolonged, dangerous heat wave is expected to continue for much of Coastal Southern California up through the Bay Area and Central Valley through midweek. Be sure to protect yourself and others by following proper heat safety tips. For an update forecast visit www.weather.gov

Prolonged, Dangerous Heat Wave Much higher than typical October temperatures will impact Coastal Southern California up through the Bay Area and Central Valley through midweek. The expected temperatures will result in Major to Extreme HeatRisk along with numerous daily high temperature records. Heat of this intensity and duration can endanger anyone without adequate cooling or hydration. High Temperatures, Little Night Relief Temperatures will run 15 to 20 degrees above normal, pushing coastal areas well into the 90s and adjacent urban and some Central Valley areas into the low 100s. Overnight lows in the mid to upper 70s in the Los Angeles and San Diego urban areas will provide little relief through the heat wave. Stay Safe in Extreme Heat Protect yourself and others by staying hydrated, using air conditioning or cooling centers, limiting sun exposure, and checking on vulnerable relatives and neighbors. Never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles, as interior temperatures

Long duration #heatwave expected Friday through early next week in California. Minimum temperatures in the low/mid 70s will provide little to no overnight relief to those without adequate cooling or hydration. Heat Advisories and Extreme Heat warnings for parts of central and southern California.

Warning of a prolonged late‑season California heat wave: text and color maps show major-to-extreme heat risk concentrated in Southern California and the Central Valley with peak temperatures in the 100s and safety guidance to stay hydrated and use cooling.
