Tropical Depression #1 Now Tropical Storm Arthur – First Tropical Storm of the 2014 Atlantic Hurricane Season – Tuesday 7/1/2014 200 PM EDT/1800 UTC Update
Hello to all..
Tropical Depression #1 is strengthening and is now Tropical Storm Arthur with maximum sustained winds of 40 MPH. Arthur is located 80 miles east-southeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida and about 100 miles North-Northwest of Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the east coast of Florida from Fort Pierce through Flagler Beach, Florida. Arthur is expected to continue to strengthen and is now forecasted to reach category-1 Hurricane Status. The track remains fairly uncertain but some level of impact to the Southeast US coast is possible. As we get into the extended forecast, some level of impact could occur across the mid-atlantic United States into Southern New England depending on the track of Arthur with the potential of some level of heavy rainfall as Arthur interacts with a cold front.
