Tropical Storm Andrea Hemmed And Hawed In The Central Atlantic Bringing A Lackluster Start To Hurricane Season
After multiple days of burst and bust, Tropical Storm Andrea formed in the open Central Atlantic, kicking off the Atlantic hurricane season, but this fish storm didn't last long. Andrea moved rapidly east-northeastward at 15 to 20 mph well to the southeast and east of Bermuda. The National Hurricane Center tracked the area of low pressure that became Andrea for two days, but the storm struggled to organize at first. An increase in persistent thunderstorm activity near the center of that low allowed the NHC to deem it the first Atlantic tropical storm of 2025. Thunderstorms quickly fell apart as the storm hit chilly waters and strong wind shear. On average (1991-2020), the first Atlantic storm of the season has formed by June 20, so Andrea's formation was about right on time.

Tropical Storm Andrea becomes first named storm of 2025 Atlantic hurricane season
Tropical Storm Andrea, the first named system of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, has formed in the Central Atlantic. As of 11 a.m., Andrea was located about 1,205 miles west of the Azores, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and higher gusts. The storm was moving east-northeast at 17 mph and was not expected to threaten any land areas. No coastal watches or warnings are in effect. NEXT Weather meteorologist Shane Hinton said it will be very short lived as it continues to stay in the Central Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center said Andrea is unlikely to strengthen and is expected to begin weakening Tuesday night. The system is projected to dissipate by Wednesday night. The average date for the first named tropical system in the Atlantic is June 20th.
