The storm has already battered the Gulf Coast with dangerous flooding and harsh wind gusts topping 50 mph at times throughout parts of Texas.
While all coastal watches and warnings have been discontinued, the National Hurricane Center warns that life-threatening flooding is expected to continue across portions of the southeastern United States through late week.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, conditions are marginally conducive for any new tropical or subtropical development, placing it at a 10% chance of development over the next two days.
That said, it is unclear if anything were to develop if it would get a new name or keep Arthur.

In the coming days, the remnant mid-level spin from Arthur is expected to move across the Southeast and move towards the Carolinas by Friday evening.
As this robust mid-level spin moves offshore, it will sit directly over the warmer waters of the Gulf Stream.
During this period late Friday, a new area of low pressure could form, bringing some gusty conditions and downpours to coastal regions.
An Area to Watch was designated on Thursday morning just off of the East coast and currently has a low chance of development.
