BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Tropical Storm Arthur has formed in the Atlantic prior to the official start of the Atlantic Hurricane Season on June 1.
Arthur is expected to spread tropical moisture along portions of the Eastern Seaboard.
The latest track from the National Hurricane Center shows Arthur moving out to sea after bringing tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rain to portions of eastern North Carolina.
Marylanders can expect winds to increase in intensity on Monday, especially for areas south and east.
