Tropical Storm Arthur

Not a whole lot has changed in the forecast, but severe weather is breaking out in parts of Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas including two tornado warnings. As you already know, Kansas and Missouri was hit pretty hard just yesterday by severe weather and tornadoes, so these areas could really use a break. The big thing is that the first Atlantic named storm has formed and moved over parts of the Yucatan Peninsula. With the official start of hurricane season beginning tomorrow, we have certainly kicked it off right. This storm has maximum sustained winds of about 40 mph and was moving to the west at around 7 mph. Right now, the storm is expected to remain over land for about the next 3 days and weaken to a tropical depression, but it is still very uncertain.
