Arlene Update
* Arlene continues to move northward and will enter into the Gulf of Mexico very soon. While the sea surface temperatures and upper winds are somewhat favorable for strengthening, dry air in the vicinity of the storm is limiting development. Tropical systems and dry air get along about as well as cats and dogs. Right now, Arlene is a minimal tropical storm because it's bringing some of that dry air into its western flank. But, once the dry air moves away from the storm, it will likely strengthen a bit before making landfall somewhere along the Mississippi/Alabama/Florida panhandle coast late Saturday. It is likely that the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf coasts will be placed under a Tropical Storm Watch later this (Friday) morning.* Be sure to check out our Tropical Storm Arlene Info Desk. This page is complete with the hurricane center forecasts, satellite images, and computer model output showing where Arlene may go! I will also be doing an Audio Update at times throughout the day Friday and Saturday. Simply click on the link below:
