HAVANA, June 4 (NNN-ACN) — Tropical depression Two of the current hurricane season which formed in the Gulf of Mexico gained intensity and organization to evolve into Tropical Storm Arlene, a weak system expected to degenerate into a remnant low on Saturday.
In its advisory 3 Friday afternoon, the Cuban Meteorology Institute explained that Arlene had 65-km-per-hour sustained winds with higher gusts and it’s moving South at 7 km per hour.
The storm is expected to slightly increase speed and gradually weaken into a low in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, north of western Cuba.
Although Arlene is a weak and short-lived storm, its future track near Cuba suggests paying attention to upcoming advisories by the Meteorology Institute. — NNN-ACN
