Tropical storm arlene

Season's First Tropical Storm Heads to Cuba
By JENNIFER KAY, AP

MIAMI (June 9) - Tropical Storm Arlene developed Thursday in the northwest Caribbean Sea, edging closer to western Cuba as the Atlantic hurricane season's first named storm. Gulf Coast residents, including those in storm-battered Florida, were warned to beware.

Arlene had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph after strengthening from a tropical depression that formed Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Tropical storms have top sustained winds of 39 mph to 74 mph.

At 8 a.m. EDT, the storm's center was about 190 miles south-southeast of the western tip of Cuba. It was moving north at about 8 mph, and this motion could bring the storm's center near western Cuba as early as Thursday night, forecasters said.

Arlene was expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico by Friday, and residents from Florida to Louisiana were told to keep an eye on the tropical storm.

''Our best estimate of the track possibilities are that anywhere from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle could expect the center to be approaching them by the middle of the weekend,'' hurricane specialist Richard Knabb said.

Forecasters said Arlene was likely to remain a tropical storm, but Navy meteorologist Lt. Dave Roberts said there was an ''outside shot'' that the system could develop into a weak hurricane, depending on atmospheric conditions.

The Cuban government has issued a tropical storm watch for the western province of Pinar Del Rio to the capital of Havana.

The depression was causing heavy rains and squalls across the Cayman Islands and western and central Cuba. Forecasters warned that very heavy rains in Nicaragua and Honduras could cause flash floods and mud slides.

Last year, the first named storm of the season was Tropical Storm Alex, which formed Aug. 1. It later became a hurricane and came within 9 miles of the Outer Banks, N.C.

Within weeks, Florida was struck by Hurricane Charley, the first of four hurricanes to hit the state last season. It was followed by hurricanes Frances, Ivan and Jeanne. The four hurricanes damaged one out of every five homes in Florida.

The storms caused about 130 deaths in the U.S. and are blamed for a total $22 billion in damage.

Hurricane season began June 1 and ends Nov. 30.

Deb.. speak for yourself about being in the clear.. lol

Remember I'm over here all by my lonesome in the pandhandle over in Florabama.

If she elevates to a hurricane then it's just me and the baby here because the USAF will be shipping my husband and his plane to Kentucky. It could be worse though I could still be pregnant for it rather then have a 2 week old and tons of precooked meals in my freezer!

Crap Laurie,

I forgot you were up there.
DAMN! I hope she stays away!
Tonight and tomorrow I will stand outside and keep blowing to the west, perhaps that will help.
