Subtropical Storm Andrea formed in the western Atlantic Monday evening. At 5 am Tuesday, Andrea was located near 30.0 North, 69.0 West, and was moving west at 6 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour. This uncommon (but not unheard-of) pre-season system is already interacting with the front which will absorb it in a day or two. In the meantime, it’s expected to bring rough surf and gusty winds to Bermuda by mid-week.
