US Gulf Coast

Tropical Storm Hanna is churning in the Atlantic while Tropical Storm Fay continues to linger, with the two systems being tracked side by side. Gulf Coast weather watchers are monitoring Hanna's development and Fay's slow movement, keeping residents along the US coastline alert for potential impacts as both storms remain active at the same time.

Forecasters are tracking two tropical storms as activity in the Atlantic basin picks up. Meteorologists are watching both systems closely for signs of strengthening and possible landfall, with residents along the US East and Gulf coasts advised to monitor official forecasts as conditions evolve.

Tropical Storm Bertha has passed along the Gulf Coast with limited impact on the region's oil refining operations. Most refineries along the coast are reported unaffected, and no widespread shutdowns or disruptions to fuel production have been announced. Energy industry watchers are monitoring the storm closely given the Gulf Coast's concentration of refining capacity and its importance to US fuel supply.

A new area to watch has been designated in the Gulf of Mexico as forecasters monitor signs that tropical trouble could be brewing closer to home. Meteorologists are tracking the disturbance for signs of development into a tropical depression or storm, with the possibility of impacts to Gulf Coast communities still uncertain.

A report highlights US cities that face dangerous coastal flooding as climate change drives sea levels higher. Cities along the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts are identified as increasingly vulnerable to storm surge and chronic high-tide flooding, raising questions about infrastructure spending, insurance costs and whether some communities can be protected at all.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two Atlantic systems: Tropical Storm Fay, nicknamed a 'zombie storm' because it regained strength after previously weakening, and newly formed Tropical Storm Hanna. Forecasters are watching both for possible landfall, and residents along the Gulf and southeast US coasts are being urged to follow updates as the storms develop.
