Tropical Storm Arlene – First named storm of the 2011 Atlantic basin season

Tropical Storm Arlene formed out of a tropical low pressure area in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. This storm will not be a threat to any US coastal areas, but since the storm was named by the National Hurricane Center, we are mentioning it in case anyone has travel plans into east central Mexico later this week. This will be our only mention of Tropical Storm Arlene.
