Hurricane Season Kicks Off 1 Day Early
Posted by ns62590 on May 31, 2008
Even before I got the Hurricane Season 2008 Page begun on the blog, the season’s first tropical storm formed earlier today in the Western Caribbean Sea. Tropical Storm ARTHUR as of 2pm Saturday was located 50 miles North-northeast of Belieze City, Mexico. Winds are near 40 mph. Arthur formed from the remnants of Tropical Storm Alma who formed in the eastern Pacific and made landfall earlier this week. Arthur is now inland across the Yucatan Peninsula, but may emerge over the southern Gulf of Mexico Sunday and strengthen before striking Mexico’s Gulf coast. No extreme threat is anticipated for the United States with this storm.
