Storms
On April 31st, the NHC began monitoring a invest located roughly 1000 miles Northeast of the US Virgin Islands. The Invest moved southward, a very unusual direction for the time of year.

Tropical Depression One made a turn westward, passing well north of Puerto Rico. After several days of little intensification, the system finally reached 40 mph on May 8th, becoming Tropical Storm Arlene. The Storm briefly peaked at 45 mph on the 10th, before Shear began to tear Tropical Storm Arlene apart. Arlene degenerated into a remnant low on May 12th, with it's remnants impacting the Bahamas and Florida, before the dissipation of the remnant low on the 20th near New Orleans, Louisiana. Arlene caused no official damage or deaths.
