Description
It’s our quietest start to hurricane season since 2014. On average, the first named storm typically forms by June 20 — but so far, the basin has stayed mostly inactive. That could soon change, as the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is now monitoring a system in the central Atlantic with potential for development this week.
Satellite images indicate that disorganized showers and thunderstorms are displaced to the east of an area of low pressure located about 600 miles east of Bermuda. Environmental conditions are still marginally favorable for further development, and an increase in thunderstorm activity could result in the formation of a short-lived tropical depression today.
If it forms, it will be named Tropical Depression Andrea.
By Tuesday, this system is expected to encounter less favorable environmental conditions, ending its opportunity for development. The system is forecast to move northeastward around 10 mph, remaining over the open central Atlantic.
The chance of formation over the next 48 hours is high at 70%
The chance of formation over the next 7 days is also high at 70%
Despite showing some signs of organization, it poses no threat to Florida, the U.S. or Bermuda as it moves northeastward over open water.
Here is a list of the names for the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season. Despite the slow start, there is stilla high likelihood of having a very active season, so stay tuned and stay prepared.
