Tropical Storm Arthur is the first named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season. In late June, a low-pressure system came off of the Carolinas. A weak tropical disturbance formed east of Florida on June 28. It developed into Tropical Depression One early on July 1, due to enough convection and warm waters. Later that day, the storm was upgraded to a tropical storm and given the name Arthur.

Forecast

On the forecast track, the center of the tropical cyclone is expected to remain just offshore and move east of the east-central coast of Florida during the next day or so. The system is forecast to pass east of northeastern Florida on Wednesday and Wednesday night with some gradual strengthening over the next 48 hours.
