Subtropical Storm Ana becomes 1st named storm of 2021 hurricane season

ORLANDO, Fla. — Subtropical Storm Ana formed in the Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda on Saturday morning becoming the first named system of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season 10 days before its official start.

The National Hurricane Center’s 11 a.m. advisory shows Ana located about 175 miles northeast of the island with sustained winds of 45 mph and moving west at 3 mph.

“The system is considered a subtropical cyclone rather than a tropical cyclone since it is still entangled with an upper-level low as evident in water vapor satellite images, but it does have some tropical characteristics as well,” said NHC senior hurricane specialist John Cangialosi.
