Here we go: Atlantic's first named storm forms early

MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- Subtropical Storm Andrea formed Wednesday off the Southeastern U.S. coast, more than three weeks before the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, forecasters said.

The year's first named storm had top sustained winds near 45 mph (72 kph) and was centered about 140 miles (225 kilometers) southeast of Savannah, Georgia, at 11 a.m. ET, the National Hurricane Center said.

1. Really not too surpised -- had a huge warm spell in the SE earlier in the spring, and it is summer

in May already here. It was warm enough to swim in the North Alabama mountains yesterday and I mean in flowing water, not a pool!
