Satellite Image Shows First Named Storm of the Atlantic Hurricane Season
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tropical Storm Andrea spun to life this week as the first named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, though the system quickly fizzled out. Satellite images captured its brief swirl over the open Atlantic. Why It Matters Though short-lived, Andrea became the first named system of the Atlantic hurricane season when it formed on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Eastern Pacific has seen a more active start to the season, with several systems already having been named. What To Know Satellite imagery shared by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Satellite and Information Service on Wednesday showed the system spiraling over the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. We've had our first named storm of the 2025 Hurricane Season! Tropical Storm #Andrea formed yesterday and quickly dissipated. Did you know that NESDIS' Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) plays a role in hurricane preparedness? Their satellite data products and… — NOAA Satellites (@NOAASatellites) June 25, 2025 The system formed Tuesday but quickly weakened into a post-tropical area of low pressure, Fox Weather reported. No land areas were threatened by the system, the outlet said, adding that Andrea remained over the open north Atlantic Ocean, some 950 miles west of the Azores. It also noted that the system marked the farthest north and east a tropical system formed in the Atlantic in June since 1851. AccuWeather meteorologist Adam Douty told Newsweek prior to Andrea's formation that strong upper-level winds were disrupting the system, which would likely prevent any "substantial or lasting" development. "If it does officially become a tropical depression or tropical storm (per the National Hurricane Center), if would be short-lived as it gets swept up into the North Atlantic," Douty said in a Monday email to Newsweek. "It would dissipate by the middle of the week." What People Are Saying The National Weather Service said on X on Wednesday: "Yesterday, Tropical Storm Andrea became the first named storm of this Atlantic Hurricane season. Andrea was short-lived and well out to sea, but served notice that Hurricane season is here. Now is the time to prepare your home and family, before the next storm threatens our coasts." NOAA Satellites said on X Wednesday: "We've had our first named storm of the 2025 Hurricane Season! Tropical Storm Andrea formed yesterday and quickly dissipated." Hurricane specialist at Fox Weather Bryan Norcross wrote on X on Wednesday: "If you took a long nap Tuesday, you missed Tropical Storm Andrea. In any case, now we wait for Barry. The 2025 tropical delay continues... and will likely last into July." Meteorologist Jonathan Stacey said on X on Tuesday: "Tropical Storm Andrea has formed in the Atlantic—the first named storm of the 2025 hurricane season. It's far out between Bermuda & the Azores and no threat to land. It should weaken by tomorrow. Stay aware—hurricane season is here." What Happens Next The Atlantic hurricane season spans from June through November.

‘Ring of fire' to ignite severe storm threats across northern, southern US as flood potential grows
Rounds of severe storms developed over the northern and southern tiers of the U.S. on Wednesday as a large dome of high pressure sits across the East, the FOX Forecast Center said. The first Severe Thunderstorm Watch box of the event was issued for communities in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia where thunderstorms were taking the unusual track of starting along the coast and working westbound. Across the northern tier of the country, severe weather watches stretched from Nebraska through western Wisconsin and included a Tornado Watch south of Minneapolis. The possibility of downbursts (localized areas of intense, damaging winds) exists within this line of storms, the FOX Forecast Center said. All the storms will be full of moisture and will form into clusters where heavier rain totals could occur. A chance of flash flooding exists across the central and eastern Gulf Coast and Florida Panhandle. Rain totals of up to 3-5 inches are possible, especially closer to the Gulf Coast. 3 The possibility of downbursts (localized areas of intense, damaging winds) exists within this line of storms. FOX Weather 3 A chance of flash flooding exists across the central and eastern Gulf Coast and Florida Panhandle. FOX Weather On Wednesday afternoon, a severe thunderstorm outside of Washington, D.C. caused a wind gust of 70 mph at Washington Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia. Power outages topped 20,000 in the state as thunderstorms worked in the general direction from north to south. And in southern Minnesota, there were half a dozen reports of tornadoes, with at least one barn that was destroyed during the severe weather. 3 A person wearing a rain poncho struggles with their umbrella during an autumn Nor'easter on October 26, 2021 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.

One of the narrow-shaped vortexes appeared to move through an open field as the thunderstorms generally worked from southwest to northeast on the northwest side of the ridge. As the ridge of high pressure continues to break down, afternoon storms will remain in the forecast into the end of the week, the FOX Forecast Center said.

Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather: Stifling heat wave begins to abate; 'ring of fire' to bring more storms
Welcome to the Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather. It's Wednesday, June 25, 2025. Start your day with everything you need to know about today's weather. You can also get a quick briefing of national, regional and local weather whenever you like with the FOX Weather Update podcast. A massive heat dome that sparked the first major heat wave of the summer brought record-breaking temperatures to cities from the Midwest to the Northeast this week, but some much-needed relief from the extreme weather is on the horizon. On Monday, 30 cities across the eastern half of the U.s. broke or tied century-old records, and another 11 cities did the same on Tuesday. Highs will once again climb into the mid- to upper 90s on Wednesday along the Interstate 95 corridor on the East Coast, but temperatures will moderate across the Northeast starting Thursday, with temperatures dropping back into the 70s by Friday. Rounds of severe storms will continue across the central and northern tier of the U.S. on Wednesday as a large dome of high pressure sits across the Southeast, the FOX Forecast Center said. These "ring of fire" storms will pop up with daytime heating into the afternoon, delivering rounds of potentially severe thunderstorms across areas from the Plains eastward into the mid-Atlantic. A separate area of severe weather is expected across the Southeast from Virginia through Florida. Severe weather made its presence known when a group of 20 people were struck by lightning while swimming at a South Carolina beach park Tuesday evening, emergency officials said. The thunderstorm swept through Lexington around 4:43 p.m. ET. One lightning bolt struck a group of eight adults and 12 children at Dominion Beach Park at Dreher Shoals Dam, according to a Lexington County spokesperson. Beachgoers in South Portland, Maine, came upon a curious sight over the weekend, when they spotted a large, orange-red jellyfish lurking in the shallow water. Known as a Lion's Mane Jellyfish, the animal is a member of the largest jellyfish species in the world, according to the Smithsonian. The specimen found in South Portland appeared as shaggy as its feline namesake, as hair-like components of its vivid crimson bell floated in the water.
