Tropical Storm Arthur has formed, and it could become Hurricane Arthur and hit North Carolina a few days from now, according to the National Hurricane Center's latest forecast track.
In its 2 p.m. update, the NHC says the storm, located about 80 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral, Fla., is moving northwestward, and is expected to turn north and then northeast over the next few days. The current five-day forecast cone shows Arthur potentially impacting North Carolina Friday morning, although it could drift further inland and make landfall sooner or drift further out to sea and avoid the U.S. coast altogether.
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the east coast of Florida from Fort Pierce to Flagler Beach.
