First Tropical Storm

Tropical Storm Arlene continues to spin in the Gulf of Mexico and will make landfall in eastern Mexico within the next day.  Current maximum winds are at 40 mph with a movement to the west/northwest around 8 mph.  Arlene is forecast to turn a little more towards the west, or even south of west later today as Tropical Storm Warnings remain in effect for the coast of Northeastern Mexico.  Heavy rainfall and gusty winds will be the main concerns along the coast.  No impacts from Arlene are expected in the United States.
