Tropical Storm Arlene




 So this tropical depression has indeed strengthened to a tropical storm, and is expected to slowly weaken as it moves generally toward Western Cuba over the weekend into early next week. This system has thrown us a curve by strengthening and changing track, so no major impacts are expected for the Florida Peninsula after all, not even the higher rainfall amounts that were estimated a few days ago. As the core of the system should remain well offshore from there. Of course they are having a few showers and thunderstorms from the outer bands. But that happens with any tropical cyclone that is nearby enough. Folks in Western Cuba might want to watch this thing, but by the time it gets there, it is probably going to be at minimal tropical depression strength or even in a a dissipating stage. Up here in North Alabama or Southern Middle Tennessee, the weather remains boring summer stuff. Which I don't mind after the active spring. Weather here definitely has variety.

Tropical Storm Arlene Special Discussion Number   5

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL022023

100 PM CDT Fri Jun 02 2023


Data from the Air Force Hurricane Hunters indicate that the 

depression has strengthened into a tropical storm.  On the last leg 

of the current mission, the aircraft found maximum 925 

mb flight-level winds of around 50 kt and SFMR surface winds of 

around 35 kt.  Based on these data, Tropical Depression Two has 

been upgraded to Tropical Storm Arlene with estimated peak winds of 

35 kt.  


Although the storm has strengthened slightly, we still expect 

Arlene to weaken soon due to increasing wind shear and dry air, and 

no change has been made to the forecast.  The next forecast will be 

issued at the normal time at 4 pm CDT.

INIT  02/1800Z 26.7N  86.2W   35 KT  40 MPH

 12H  03/0000Z 25.6N  86.2W   30 KT  35 MPH
