The official forecast has the storm moving northward along the Atlantic Coast, possibly brushing North Carolina.
Still, the hurricane center said it is uncertain as to how near Tropical Storm Arthur is to the coast. Thus, they have cautioned people living along the southeastern Atlantic coast to watch the forecast more.
Tropical Storm Arthur is reportedly likely to gain strength bringing low wind shear and sea surface temperatures along the 80-degree range, which are most favourable for tropical storm development only.
The Atlantic hurricane season in 2014 began Jun. 1 and will reportedly run its course until Nov. 30.
In the meantime, along with warnings of Tropical Storm Arthur in the east coast, off the west coast of Mexico, two tropical storms are reported to be forming.
Tropical Storm Douglas was recorded having minimal storm winds of 40 mph Tuesday, located about 465 miles southwest of the tip of Baja, California in Mexico. The hurricane center also said that Douglas is no threat on landfall. Along the east there's also Tropical Storm Elida, with growing winds of 45 mph and expected to hit the southwest coast of Mexico.
Tropical Storm Arthur may yet turn into a hurricane. Thus, it is important to be on watch and mindful of its activities to best prepare lest disaster occurs.
