The first tropical storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season could form on Monday, according to forecasters.

However, it is expected to be short-lived, weak, and track away from the United States.

The National Hurricane Center on Monday continued to watch an area of disturbed weather in the central subtropical Atlantic that was about 500 miles east of Bermuda.

It has the makings of a tropical depression or storm: a well-defined surface circulation, and sustained winds of 30-35 mph, according to the hurricane center.

Forecasters said that “only a small increase in organization” could result in the formation of a short-lived tropical depression or storm.

And that could happen as soon as later today.

If the system gets a name, it will be the first one on the 2025 list, Andrea.

Forecasters don’t expect the potential Andrea to hang around long, though.

The storm is forecast to move into a less hospitable environment on Tuesday, and no further development is expected.

The hurricane center said the system is expected to track to the northeast at 10 to 15 mph and stay safely out over the open Atlantic.

There are no other potential areas of concern in the tropical Atlantic, Gulf or Caribbean as of Monday.

The Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1 and lasts until Nov. 30.

NOAA is anticipating an active season, with 13-19 named storms, six to 10 hurricanes and three to five major hurricanes (Category 3 or stronger storms).
