Tropical Depression Ana dissipates in the open Atlantic

Ana, the first named storm of the Atlantic season, is no more. Conditions became harsh late Sunday and it’s no longer a tropical system. 


What You Need To Know

  • This is the seventh year in a row with a named storm before June 1
  • Ana is no longer a tropical system
  • Its remains are well out to sea in the North Atlantic

A large non-tropical weather system is sweeping the remnants of Ana to the northeast in the open Atlantic, far northeast of Bermuda.

For the seventh year in a row, the National Hurricane Center has named a system before June 1, the “official” start of the hurricane season.

Subtropical Storm Ana formed early Saturday morning after moving into an area of warmer waters before gaining tropical characteristics.

Another disturbance that was in the Gulf of Mexico came ashore in Texas Saturday morning before it could become a tropical system.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its outlook for this year’s Atlantic hurricane season this past Thursday. Even if this year isn’t as active as 2020 was, it’s still wise to prepare now – it takes just one hurricane hitting where you live to make it a bad season.
