Tropical Storm Arlene was the first named storm of the '''2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season. '''Arlene formed from a tropical wave that was named Invest 97L. The invest started to strengthen when it moved into the carribean ocean, with warm waters of 29-30C. The NHC sent a recon flight to investigate th system, and it found that the system was producing gale force winds of 35 MPH sustained, and had had recent bursts of convection over the center, so the NHC gave it a high chance of development on July 25. Tropical Depression Four formed on the next day, but would quickly strengthen into a tropical storm and receive the name Arlene.
