| - Tropical Storm Arlene was the first named storm of the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season. Arlene formed in the Atlantic well to the southeast of Bermuda on June 11. It moved northeast, west-northwest, and then eventually back to the northeast, reaching its peak of 60 mph as it did so, and then dissipated on June 18. Arlene caused no damage or deaths.
- Tropical Storm Arlene was the first tropical cyclone of the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season. Arlene formed on June 11 from the interaction between a mid/upper level low that previously detached itself from a frontal system. It was classified as a tropical depression despite a cold-core, which would normally indicate subtropical characteristics. By the next day, the tropical depression had been upgraded to Tropical Storm Arlene, the first of the season. Tropical Storm Arlene remained nearly stationary for much of its duration.

- Tropical Storm Arlene was the first tropical cyclone of the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season. Arlene formed on June 11 from the interaction between a mid/upper level low that previously detached itself from a frontal system. It was classified as a tropical depression despite a cold-core, which would normally indicate subtropical characteristics. By the next day, the tropical depression had been upgraded to Tropical Storm Arlene, the first of the season. Tropical Storm Arlene remained nearly stationary for much of its duration. The storm attained its peak intensity as a 60 mph tropical storm on June 13. Fluctuating slightly in intensity and still nearly stationary, Arlene also executed a small cyclonic loop on June 15. Thereafter, Tropical Storm Arlene started to weaken as it began to encounter unfavorable conditions, mainly increasing wind shear and lower water temperatures. On the day of June 17, Tropical Storm Arlene was downgraded back to a tropical depression. That same day, Tropical Depression Arlene would also pass about 100 miles (160 km) to the east of Bermuda. Thought it was initially feared that Tropical Storm Arlene would approach the island much closer. Wind shear continued to affect Tropical Depression Arlene, and by June 18, it had dissipated. The remnants of Tropical Depression Arlene would turn northeast and remain out at sea. Arlene briefly posed a threat to Bermuda, thought it veered away and weakened. This tropical storm was the first named Atlantic storm to form in the month of June since Tropical Storm Arthur in 1996, it would remain so until Tropical Storm Allison formed in 2001. Arlene was also forecast to briefly attain hurricane status. Tropical Storm Arlene did not affect any landmass, despite coming within of Bermuda.
