TROPICAL STORM ARLENE FORM IN THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO FIRST NAME STORM OF THE SEASON. ARLENE HAS GATHERED MORE MOISTURE AS SEEN ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. ARLENE HAS A MUCH LARGER CLOUD CANOPY AND THE MOISTURE IS BEING PUSHED OVER SOUTHERN FLORIDA. SO THE CHANCES FOR HEAVY RAINS ARE INCREASING IF THIS CONTINUES. I STILL THINK THAT ARLENEN WILL BE A SHORT LIVED STORM SYSTEM. I CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR YOU!
