Arlene makes landfall

At about 15Z today, the center of Tropical Storm Arlene crossed the Mexican coastline near Cabo Rojo (about 45 miles south of Tampico) with 55kt sustained winds and up to a foot of rain further inland over the higher terrain.

Over the next day, it will weaken, produce a lot of rain, and eventually completely dissipate.  Elsewhere, the basin is quiet... but when the time comes, the next name on the list is Bret.
