Tropical Storm Arthur, first of Atlantic season, targets Gulf Coast with heavy rain

The first tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, named Arthur, has formed near the Gulf Coast, bringing heavy rain and the potential for flash floods to areas including Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Meteorologists note that Arthur is a disorganized system that has already caused prolonged rainfall in parts of eastern Mexico and the Gulf. The National Hurricane Center forecasts that Arthur will move toward the northwestern Gulf Coast, with gusty winds and coastal flooding possible. Director Michael Brennan warned that the flood threat could last into the weekend.

MIAMI -- The first tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season formed Wednesday near the Gulf Coast, bringing intense rain and the threat of dangerous flash floods to states including Texas and Louisiana, meteorologists said.

Tropical Storm Arthur was a disorganized cluster of storms that brought rain for days over parts of eastern Mexico and the Gulf. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said conditions were conducive for a short-lived tropical storm to form.

Arthur was forecast to move over the northwestern Gulf Coast into Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Gusty winds and coastal flooding were possible.
