Tropical Storm Arlene forms in the Gulf of Mexico


Tropical Storm Arlene formed in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, making it the first named storm of the Atlantic season. The U.S. National Hurricane Center expects Arlene to strengthen before making landfall on Thursday.
A tropical storm warning has been issued for the coast of northeastern Mexico from Barra de Nautla northward to Bahia Algodones. Up to 200 mm of rain could fall over the Mexican states of Tamaulipas and Veracruz, with locally higher amounts possible over mountainous terrain.
Authorities warn of life-threatening flash floods and mudslides with these heavy downpours.
