Arlene formed Tuesday evening in the southwest Gulf of Mexico. It is churning toward Mexico with an expected landfall on early Thursday as a strong tropical storm. However, there is some chance it could strengthen into a category one hurricane. Hurricane warnings have been issued for this possibility.
Outside of some welcome rainfall in far South Texas, Arlene will have no major impacts on the United States.
The third tropical depression of the eastern Pacific hurricane season has formed off the Mexico coast.
The center of the system is expected to remain offshore, however it could bring locally heavy showers and wave action to some coastal areas. Strengthening is forecast and the depression is expected to become Tropical Storm Calvin. Track this latest system using the maps below.
