Tropical Storm Andrea forming over the Atlantic, but is not expected to pose a threat
The first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season has formed east of Bermuda, but it isn't expected to pose much of a threat. The National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla., says Tropical Storm Andrea is a small, gale-force low-pressure system. The storm is producing showers and thunderstorms over the central Atlantic.

The centre says the environmental conditions about 1,400 kilometres east of Bermuda are expected to prevent the storm from gaining any strength by this evening, and it is expected to dissipate on Wednesday. Last month, the Canadian Hurricane Centre in Halifax predicted another active year for tropical storms. The Halifax-based centre has calculated that between 35 and 40 per cent of all tropical storms typically enter the Canadian zone, which extends from Ontario eastward to Atlantic Canada's sprawling offshore. Story continues below advertisement As a result, between two and four named storms can be expected to enter the Canadian zone every year. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 24, 2025.

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.

National Hurricane Center Watching For Possible Formation Of The Atlantic's First Tropical Depression Or Storm
An area of low pressure in the northern Atlantic Ocean is being tracked by the National Hurricane Center for the possible formation of the season's first tropical depression or storm. The low-pressure system is located about 500 miles east of Bermuda and has become better organized since the NHC began tracking it on Sunday. Only a small increase in shower and thunderstorm activity could allow it to form into Tropical Depression One or Tropical Storm Andrea today. This system's window of opportunity to develop is small since environmental conditions become increasingly hostile by Tuesday. The good news is that since the system's location is far from land, as depicted in red on the map below, it's no threat to the United States or anywhere else. On average (1991-2020), the first Atlantic storm of the season has formed by June 20, so if Andrea develops out of this disturbance it'd be right on time. Chris Dolce has been a senior digital meteorologist with for 15 years after beginning his career with The Weather Channel in the early 2000s.
