Tropical Storm Arthur, seen here in a satellite image from Wednesday morning, is the first named storm of the Atlantic season, bringing the threat of dangerous floods along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center predicts the system will not strengthen much before making landfall.

Forecasters say Arthur could generate life-threatening flash floods along the northern Gulf Coast. But it is not expected to strengthen further.
