Tropical Storm Ada, the first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, formed in the Gulf of Mexico on June 17. It is bringing heavy rains and the threat of dangerous flash floods to the U.S. Gulf Coast, particularly in United States — Texas, United States — Louisiana, United States — Mississippi, United States — Alabama, Georgia (country), and the United States — Florida panhandle. The United States — National Hurricane Center and United States — National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are issuing advisories and forecasts, warning of life-threatening flash flooding.
