| Atlantic hurricane season 2021- ANA |
The subtropical storm Ana lies near Bermuda and will return to sea. It's now the seventh year in a row that at least one named storm has formed prior to the start of the Atlantic hurricane season, which officially begins on June 1st.
This isn't the first year a subtropical storm has ushered in the Atlantic hurricane season.
In 2019 and 2018 there were last subtropical storms Andrea and Alberto, which were the first named storms of the season in their respective years. A subtropical storm has similar characteristics to a tropical storm but is not considered entirely tropical as it does not depend on warm water temperatures to fuel its evolution.
"The system is considered a subtropical cyclone rather than a tropical cyclone as it is still tangled at a lower level as seen in the water vapor satellite images, But it has some tropical characteristics too, said the Hurricane Center.
Ana is also unique because the storm comes from an area of the Atlantic where tropical storms do not normally occur. Cyclones form in May.
Typically this month, storms form in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the western Caribbean, or near the southeastern coast of the United States.
There have been eight pre-season storms in the past six years (2015-2020), four of which landed in the US, including Ana in 2015.Fortunately, NOAA is forecasting another Atlantic hurricane season over subtropical storm .
Ana In the US, however, the storm could have some impact on Bermuda for the next Ana currently has winds of 45 mph and Located approximately 200 miles northeast of Bermuda A tropical storm clock is in effect for Bermuda and tropical storm conditions are possible for the island today.
The storm is expected to stay near Bermuda today before turning northeast on Sunday. A small change in strength is forecast today but a gradual weakening is expected tonight and on Sunday.
Ana is expected to resolve in a few days. Tropical unrest in the Gulf of Mexico The National Hurricane Center has also been monitoring an area with weather disturbances in the western Gulf of Mexico since Thursday.
Early Saturday morning, a well-defined, low-pressure area was approaching the Texan coast near Corpus Christi. The hurricane center has reduced the likelihood of this thunderstorm area turning into a tropical depression or storm, as the low is expected to move inland in the near future.
"Regardless of how it evolves, the system could cause heavy rainfall in parts of southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana today," the Hurricane Center said Saturday morning.
Some isolated areas are likely to get up to 6 inches in an area that has already rained a lot in the past week.
Several dozen river meters in Texas and Louisiana are already in flood and will not take much rain to aggravate flood conditions in these regions. The coastal flood recommendations also apply to parts of Texas, Loui Siana, and Mississippi through Sunday morning.
Water levels can rise 1 to 2 feet above normal high water when this low pressure area moves offshore.
"Tidal fluctuations can occur, but the general rise in water will continue largely due to high winds," said the New Orleans office of the National Weather Service.
Significant coastal flooding is possible in parts of eastern Louisiana and western Mississippi, where a coastal flood warning has also been issued.
This area can experience 2 to 4 feet of flooding on Saturday night. in addition to the coastal flooding, there is a high risk of currents along the Gulf Coast from Texas to the Florida Panhandle on Saturday.
