Central Gulf Coast hurricane operations
Mississippi Hurricane Tracker – Live Updates
Mississippi's Gulf coast is the shortest of the hurricane-prone states at roughly 44 miles, yet it has absorbed some of the most violent landfalls in U.S. history. Storms typically approach from the southeast across warm Gulf water that fuels rapid intensification, then drive into Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson counties. The low, flat coast and the Bay of St. Louis make surge the dominant threat. In 1969, Hurricane Camille came ashore as a catastrophic Category 5, among the strongest storms ever recorded, and Hurricane Katrina (2005) then devastated the coast and flooded coastal communities. The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, with Gulf risk highest from August through September. Because much of the coast is low-lying, officials urge early evacuation for mobile-home residents and medically dependent households before routes close.

Is There a Hurricane in Mississippi Right Now?
No, the latest NHC check shows no active system with a center position or official forecast path within 500 miles of this site's established Mississippi city trackers. That means there is no nearby tracked center path in this check, but conditions and forecasts can change.
Answer verified from National Hurricane Center data at Sep 25, 8:46 PM UTC. A nearby center path is not a landfall prediction, an impact boundary, or an evacuation decision. Follow NWS alerts and local emergency management instructions.
