Subtropical Storm Andrea becomes first named storm of Atlantic Hurricane Season

The National Hurricane Center has confirmed that the disturbance discovered in the Atlantic has officially formed into a subtropical storm Monday.

Subtropical Storm Andrea is located several hundred miles southwest of Bermuda. The NHC had previously predicted its formation earlier in the afternoon as it had a 70 percent change of becoming a short-lived subtropical storm or topical cyclone.

This formation is the first named subtropical storm of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, which officially doesn’t start until June 1.
