Hurricane Arlene
Hurricane Arlene was the first storm of the 2017 season, forming on May 31, a day before the official start of the season. On June 2, Tropical Storm Arlene clipped Cancun with winds of 50 knots, with no reported fatalities. Due to this land interaction, Arlene degenerated into a tropical depression, but soon reintensified into a tropical storm, and later a minimal hurricane. However, it hit an area of shear, and degenerated into a tropical storm. On June 5, Arlene made landfall around the Cedar Keys area with winds of 55 knots, and rapidly degenerated into a wave on the 6th. All in all, Arlene caused isolated heavy rain and mudslides in Cuba, Mexico, and Florida. Arlene caused an estimated $150 million USD across its path, yet no fatalities, most likely due to lots of advance notice for the affected areas.
