SUMMARY AS OF 500 PM EDT...2100 UTC...INFORMATION -- MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...40 MPH...65 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NORTHEAST AT 8 MPH MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1004 MB

WATCHES AND WARNINGS

There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

Interests in the Southeast should continue to monitor the progress of Arlene, and a Tropical Storm Watch may be required later today.

DISCUSSION -- At this time, Arlene is steadily moving to the northeast, away from land. However, it is expected to turn back to the northwest and parallel the coast tomorrow. Heavy surf will impact coastal areas, and the risk of rip currents is high, especially along the South Carolina coast.

Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Slow strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Arlene could become a moderate tropical storm by Tuesday.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.59 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND -- None.

NEXT ADVISORY - Next advisory tomorrow, June 12, 2016.
