Tropical Storm Arthur

Tropical Storm Arthur was short lived, lasting only about 6 hours. But forecasters are watching for increased flooding rain and storm chances across parts of Florida later this week.

Arthur became the first named system of the season, but in less than 6 hours after being named, it moved over land in Texas. The flash flood threat continues for the next couple of days across the Southeast.

Forecasters say Arthur could generate life-threatening flash floods along the northern Gulf Coast. But it is not expected to strengthen further.

Heavy rains threaten the Gulf Coast states, from Southeast Texas through the Deep South. Heavy rains could affect parts of the western Florida Panhandle.

The storm is expected to affect Fourth of July travel plans. It's still unclear, however, what kind of weather will be felt along the Eastern Seaboard.
