Subtropical Storm Ana is now a tropical storm, according to the NHC.
Subtropical Storm Ana, formed in the Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda on Saturday morning, has now transitioned to a tropical storm, according to the latest National Hurricane Center forecast. “Given the tight low-level circulation, small radius of maximum wind, and compact central convection, Ana is now estimated to have transitioned from a subtropical storm to a tropical storm,” said NHC senior hurricane specialist John Cangialosi. The National Hurricane Center’s 5 a.m. advisory shows Ana located about 340 miles northeast of the island with sustained winds of 45 mph and moving northeast at 12 mph. Ana is the first-named system of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season 10 days before its official start. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect, as the Bermuda Weather Service discontinued the tropical storm watch issued yesterday.
