Governor Dannel P. Malloy, whose three-and-a-half years in office have been marred by one nasty weather event after another, says the Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS) is monitoring Tropical Storm Arthur.
“Although the latest forecast does not have Arthur severely impacting the state, we need to continue to monitor the storm’s path,” Malloy said. “This storm is a great reminder that we need to be prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws at us as we move into the height of hurricane season. The latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center is that Arthur will turn to the northeast on Friday, accelerate, and move southeast of Cape Cod by early Saturday morning. North winds Friday night may gust to 30 MPH at times along the southeast coast. Tides are expected to run within 1 foot of normal and rainfall is expected to total 1 – 3 inches, which may cause some local urban flooding.”
