NHC Forecast Track
A sub-tropical low over the central North Atlantic has been classified by the National Hurricane as the season’s first Tropical Storm and has named it Arlene with max winds of about 40 knots. Arlene is over fairly cold SST of about 19C so it is unusual to see this type of transformation. In any case, Arlene will move towards the WNW and will be absorbed into a larger extra-tropical low to the west fairly quickly.
