We have the first named storm of our Atlantic Hurricane season.
What was Invest 90L just hours ago, has developed into Tropical Storm Andrea, over the central subtropical Atlantic. T.S. Andrea is located about 900 miles East-NE of Bermuda.
The storm is not expected to pose a threat to land, and will likely be short-lived.
The National Hurricane Center says:
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Andrea was
located near latitude 36.6 North, longitude 48.9 West. Andrea is
moving toward the east-northeast near 17 mph (28 km/h), and this
motion is expected to continue for the next day or so.
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is expected today. Weakening is expected
to begin tonight, with Andrea dissipating by Wednesday night.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1014 mb (29.95 inches)
