Overview

• Tropical Storm Andrea formed on June 25 as the first named storm of the season but weakened into a post-tropical low within 24 hours.
• Andrea posed no threat to land, remaining about 950 miles west of the Azores over open Atlantic waters.
• Its brief existence marked the latest start to the Atlantic hurricane season since 2014, more than three weeks into the official June–November period.
• NOAA predicts 6–10 hurricanes this season, including 3–5 major hurricanes, driven by unusually warm sea-surface temperatures across the Caribbean and Atlantic.
• A new disturbance over the east coast of Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula carries just a 10% chance of tropical cyclone development in the next 48 hours.
