NOAA image of Tropical Storm Arlene this morning in the Gulf of Mexico.
The first tropical system in the Atlantic basin for 2011 has formed in the Gulf of Mexico. Tropical storm Arlene, lies southeast of Tampico, Mexico with 40mph winds. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the northeastern Mexico coast. The storm is expected to gain some strength but remain a tropical storm with winds approaching 65mph prior to landfall late Thursday. The system will be a big rain maker for portions of the coast as well as inland. The rain may even reach northward into the parched Rio Grande Valley of south Texas.
MONTREAL: We managed to avoid any heavy thunderstorms yesterday here in the city with the bulk of the activity moving off to the north into the lower Laurentians and Ottawa Valley. We can expect a cooler day with widely scattered showers and thunderstorms today. Temperatures will be around 21C. Conditions will slowly improve tomorrow and it should be a decent holiday weekend on both sides of the border with partly sunny skies, increasing humidity and temperatures warming to near 30C Saturday. Sunday will be warm and humid with a risk of showers or thunderstorms but it should be decent.
