LOL. This storm really did surprise me. It was supposed to dissipate yesterday without reaching SS/TS status, however it pulled off a rare stunt to become Tropical Storm Arlene. I wonder if it could get upgraded to 60 mph in post analysis because the winds of 45 kt were found after the cyclone had its best appearance.
