Severe weather drives record-breaking insurance claims in Sask. Extreme winds in June caused the most insured loss of any event recorded in the province — $240 million — followed by the northern wildfires last summer.

#SevereWeather #PTC #TXwx #NCwx #LAwx From North Carolina’s Weather Authority on FB: Tropical Update: We have our first cone of the 2026 season this morning the National Hurricane Center has designated Potential Tropical Cyclone 1 ( what is a PTC a developing weather disturbance that has not yet officially become a tropical depression or tropical storm, but poses a threat of bringing tropical storm or hurricane conditions to land within 72 hours). It is currently located over southwestern Texas, but it is expected to move into the Northern Gulf over the next 24 hours and could briefly reach Tropical Storm status as Tropical Storm Arthur. The main concern is dangerous, life-threatening Flash Flooding from heavy rainfall along the Mid to Upper Texas Coast, through much of Louisiana, the central and southern portions of Mississippi and Alabama, and the far western portion of the Florida Panhandle over the next few days. Little to no wind is expected, but a Tropical Storm Watch has been issued A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for the northwestern Gulf Coast from Sargent, Texas to Morgan City, Louisiana. The National Hurricane Center says, "Potentially life-threatening flash and urban flooding is possible across the Texas coast eastward into central Mississippi through southwest Louisiana, with isolated areas of significant river flooding possible across the Texas Coast and Louisiana." The remains of the system could bring some moisture on Friday into the SE US from GA/FL up to South Carolina, and potentially some moisture here into NC, but we are still looking at the data. At the very least, there could be increased storm chances on Friday. I'll have more over the next day or so. -Ethan
