2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season (Brick)

Tropical Storm Arlene
A weak area of low pressure developed in the Bahamas on May 15, and was given a low chance of developing, also stating that if it did, it would be subtropical. However, over the next several hours, it became more apparent that this system was turning tropical. The NHC kept the chance of development low, but said that it would cause severe flooding issues in the US, and the Bahamas. As this low pressure gained more tropical characteristics, the NHC gave it a medium chance of development on May 16. The area of low pressure was nearly stationary. It was expected to head north, which would cause major promblems in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas
