Move NORTH and EAST(not Southwest!)---we NEED the RAIN!!!
Tropical Storm Arthur, the first storm of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season has formed near the coast of Belize. The National Hurricane Center said Arthur formed Saturday afternoon, and was already moving inland. The system began in the Pacific, as Tropical Storm Alma, and broke up over Central American before reforming in the Gulf of Mexico as Arthur.The Mexican government has issued a tropical storm warning for part of its coast -- from Catoche south, to the border with Belize.
Tropical storm conditions were expected within six to 12 hours.
The storm was expected to weaken Saturday as it moved over land.
Arthur was not expected to affect Central Florida.
(But we would accept some nice tropical rain.)
