Storm Born from Another Ocean

Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named storm of the Atlantic season, has a wild backstory—born from the remnants of Pacific Tropical Storm Christina, which crossed Central America and merged with another disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico. This rare Pacific-to-Atlantic journey has only happened four times, and the NHC keeps the original name if a storm maintains strength. With the Pacific season already underway and boosted by El Niño, Arthur’s arrival signals a dynamic, interconnected global weather system—and scientists are watching for heavy rain and flash flooding along the U.S. Southeast coast.
