Hurricane Alert:  4/SEASONAL –   TS ANDREA - Special Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
830 AM EDT Tue Jun 24 2025
 
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
 
Special outlook issued to update AL90 formation chances
 
1. Central Subtropical Atlantic (AL90):  Satellite images indicate that shower and thunderstorm activity has become better organized in association with a small gale-force low-pressure system located about 900 miles east-northeast of
Bermuda.  This system will likely become a short-lived tropical storm later today before more hostile environmental conditions end its opportunity for development by this evening.  The low is forecast to move northeastward at around 15 to 20 mph while remaining over the open central Atlantic.  For additional information, including gale warnings, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.
