Arlene was a large storm that formed early in the year. It had maximum wind speeds of 70 [[mph]] (110 [[km/h]]). It also caused one death and created [[USD|$]]11.8 million (2005 USD) in damage. The storm formed near [[Honduras]] on [[June 8]] and moved north. It came close to western [[Cuba]] on [[June 10]] before entering the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. Arlene strengthened just below hurricane strength before making landfall on western [[Florida]]. The storm quickly weakened while moving inland, and later became an [[extratropical cyclone|extratropical remnant]] on [[June 13]]. ==Naming== When Tropical Storm Arlene formed on [[June 8]], it was the ninth time that the name has been used to name a storm in the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]]. This meant Arlene kept its position as the most commonly used name for Atlantic storms. But because the storm did not cause any major damages, its name was not retired by the [[World Meteorological Organization]] and will be on the list of names for the 2011 season. ==Related pages== * [[2005 Atlantic hurricane season]] * [[List of hurricanes in Florida]] ==Other websites== {{Commonscat|Tropical Storm Arlene (2005)}} * [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2005/refresh/ARLENE+shtml/ NHC's archive on Tropical Storm Arlene]. * The [[Hydrometeorological Prediction Center]]'s (HPC) [http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/tropical2005/ARLENE/ARLENE_archive.shtml archive on Tropical Storm Arlene]. * [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/TCR-AL012005_Arlene.pdf NHC's Tropical Cyclone Report
