Tornadoes Spotted Amid Tropical Storm Arthur

The National Hurricane Center declared Arthur a Tropical Storm as it enters the US later today and Thursday. The Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft confirmed the system had strengthened to sustained winds of 40 mph near the middle Texas coast.

The storm is moving northeast at 9 mph and is forecast to move along or across the Texas coastline before continuing inland through southeastern Texas and into southwestern Louisiana later today.

However, forecasters expect Arthur to lose strength quickly because it is already over land and facing strong westerly wind shear.
