Earliest 5th Named Storm On Record – Edouard Forms In The Atlantic

Tropical Storm Edouard formed in the North Atlantic Sunday evening. It’s the earliest ‘E’ storm on record in the Atlantic. This will be racing northeast the next few days, with its remnants moving across the United Kingdom late next week.

In the northeastern Gulf, a weak area of low pressure is producing little to no convection at the moment. Development chances are slim before this crosses over Florida/Georgia. Once it emerges over the Atlantic in a few days, conditions will be favorable for some development, especially if it stays far enough offshore to avoid too much land interaction. We’ll keep you posted.
