(CNN) — An area of stormy weather in the open Atlantic Ocean became Tropical Storm Andrea on Tuesday morning, the first of the Atlantic hurricane season, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Andrea is roughly 1,200 miles away from The Azores, or about 1,400 miles east of the US East Coast, with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph as of 11:00 a.m. ET Tuesday.
The storm is forecast to move northeast at 17 mph and is not a threat to land. No coastal watches or warnings are in effect, and Andrea is forecast to dissipate on Wednesday.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
