Tropical Storm Arlene has formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Friday, becoming the first named tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. It won’t last much longer, though.
Arlene is a tropical storm with top sustained winds winds of 40 mph. No tropical watches or warnings are in effect for Florida or Cuba.
Conditions will become more unfavorable for Arlene as wind shear tears it apart, so this system will be short-lived. The storm is expected to weaken to a tropical depression today, then fully dissipate by Saturday night.
