At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Arthur was
located near latitude 28.6 North, longitude 95.8 West. Arthur is
moving toward the northeast near 9 mph (15 km/h), and an increase in
forward speed is expected today. On the forecast track, the low
pressure area should move northeastward along the Texas coast today
and then move inland over southwestern Louisiana by tonight.
Surface observations and data from the Air Force Reserve Hurricane
Hunters indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near
40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is
expected before the center moves over land. Weakening is anticipated
once the low moves inland, and it could dissipate by tonight or
early Thursday.
