The primary areas at risk include the northern Gulf Coast, particularly the Florida Panhandle, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Tropical-storm-force winds could begin affecting the Florida Panhandle as early as Monday night. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 mm) are expected across the eastern and central Gulf Coast, with isolated areas potentially receiving up to 8 inches (200 mm), increasing the risk of flash flooding. Coastal impacts, including localized flooding and gusty winds, are also possible. Residents in flood-prone areas should remain vigilant as conditions may change rapidly.
