Hurricane Elena — Gulf Coast Landfall
Widespread, multi-day outages now expected across coastal and inland counties as the second band moves ashore.
Severe Storm Line — Ohio Valley
A fast-moving line brings damaging wind and flash-flood potential from Missouri through the Ohio Valley overnight.
Southern Plains Heat & Demand Watch
Sustained heat lifts load toward summer peaks across Texas; scattered heat-driven interruptions possible midweek.

An Editor's Read
Elena came ashore near the Louisiana–Mississippi line early this morning as a strong Category 3, driving a second convective band inland through midday. Transmission-level damage is confirmed across three parishes, and crews are staged but holding until sustained winds drop below 40 mph.
Expect restoration measured in days, not hours, across the hardest-hit coastal counties. Mutual-aid convoys from the Southeast are already en route.

A fast-moving line brings damaging wind and flash-flood potential from Missouri through the Ohio Valley overnight.
An Editor's Read
A fast-moving line of storms is expected to organize over Missouri after 8 PM and race east along the Ohio River through the overnight hours. The primary threat is 60–70 mph straight-line wind, with a conditional risk of embedded spin-ups after midnight.
Damage should be scattered rather than widespread, but the overnight timing means outages will be reported before crews can pre-stage in the eastern counties.

An Editor's Read
A building upper ridge lifts afternoon highs into the upper 90s to 105°F across much of Texas through midweek, pushing load toward seasonal peaks. No organized severe threat is expected; the operational concern is heat-driven equipment strain rather than storm damage.
Watch for scattered, heat-related interruptions during the late-afternoon demand peak, especially on older distribution circuits.
