This year, I didn't start looking at the Tropical weather until the first day of the tropical season, and I was already late... Arthur was already named, and active...

 

Hurricane season officially began Sunday and Tropical Rainstorm Arthur has already come and gone, but continues to bring heavy rain to areas of southeast Mexico and Guatemala.

Arthur's most dangerous attribute continues to be the heavy rain associated with its tropical convection. An average of 5 to 10 inches of rain is expected to fall across the mountainous terrain of Belize, Guatemala and southern Mexico, causing flash flooding and mudslides. A strong ridge of high pressure over the south-central United States will keep all threats from this storm away from the lower 48. Arthur will weaken as it continues to track across southeastern Mexico; however, the heavy rainfall will remain a threat through at least Monday.
 

The mountains ripped Arthur apart, and the final advisory was issued at 10 PM
