At 00:00 UTC of July 1st, the thunderstorm was upgraded to a tropical depression, due to the organization of convection into a banding feature along the storm’s south side. (Brown, 2014). The depression then moved along a northwesterly route carrying with it showers and thunderstorms. The newly-designated tropical depression began to build upon itself. Wind speeds were measured at around 38 mph, and the NHC upgraded the storm from a tropical depression to a tropical storm. (Stewart, 2014). The tropical storm was named Arthur. Arthur was “expected to be in an environment of light northwesterly vertical wind shear for [the following] 60-72 hours.” (Bevan, 2014). The forecast called for Tropical Storm Arthur to “become a hurricane in about 36

(Brown, 2014). As Hurricane Arthur moved over the cooler sea temperatures, the system began to weaken. (Brown, 2014). On July 5th, the eye of the storm dissipated over the east coast of Massachusetts. (Brown, 2014). Arthur’s surface winds dropped below gale-form, and the hurricane was designated as an extratropical system as it moved northeastward towards the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
As newly downgraded storm passed outside of the United States, the NHC handed over the storm to the Canadian Hurricane Center. (Brown, Pasch, 2014). The remaining storm intensified as it changed hands. A sting jet formed on the south eastern quadrant of the remaining rotation. (Canadian Hurricane Centre, 2014). The meteorological phenomena produced damaging wind gusts up to 80 miles per hour. The sting jet remnants of Arthur made landfall at Fundy National Park, the jet continued on through Labrador and dissipated as an extra tropical system July 9, 2014. (National Hurricane Center, 2014).
Arthur made its mark over a vast area starting in the Bahamas and the southern United States. Then traveling up the eastern coast of the US Atlantic, through New England, and on into Atlantic Canada and Quebec. (Unisys,
