Regardless of the storm's designation, a significant and potentially life-threatening flash flood threat is expected along the Gulf Coast through late week due to its remnant moisture.
Arthur remnants eye East Coast as possible redevelopment looms
While the potential for Post-Tropical Storm Arthur to redevelop remains low, with a 10% chance over the next two days, the remnants are expected to track toward the Carolinas on Friday night. Regardless of tropical development, more rain and gusty winds are possible. Latest:

MILLIONS AT RISK AS HISTORIC FLASH FLOODING CONTINUES ACROSS THE SOUTH WITH MORE RAIN LOOMING
Arthur and its remnants have already battered the Gulf Coast with catastrophic flooding that inundated homes, streets, and offices. The historic downpours prompted multiple Flash Flood Emergencies, with dangerous impacts remaining a threat to millions on Friday.

That said, it is unclear if anything were to develop if it would get a new name or keep Arthur.
Into Friday, 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 Mid-Atlantic coastal regions.
