Update on Tropical Storm Arthur

Predicted track of TS Arthur as of 8PM July 2, 2014

A quick update on the tropics as of today.  Tropical Storm Arthur formed yesterday and continues to slowly gain strength as it spins off the east coast of Florida.  It is now forecast to strengthen into a category 1 hurricane as it moves northeast possibly hitting the outer banks of North Carolina before heading just south of Cape Cod and then into the Canadian Maritimes.  The track off to our east and off the coast is not likely at all to result in any unusual birds around here.  Perhaps something of interest down on the coast but not really likely there either.  We will possibly get some heavy rain around the 4^th of July but that will probably be the only impact.
