If the storm does get a name, it will be Andrea, the first name on the 2025 storm list for the Atlantic. The system is expected to track to the northeast at 15-20 mph over the open central Atlantic. As of Tuesday there were no other potential tropical storms in the Atlantic, Gulf or Caribbean.

An Atlantic disturbance that hurricane forecasters were tracking Tuesday morning is expected to briefly become the first tropical storm of the year as it continues to move northeast away from the U.S.

Tropical Storm Andrea is now expected to form in the central Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday, though it is expected to be "short-lived," according to a special outlook issued by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) Tuesday morning.
