Subtropical Storm Andrea: May 9, Update B

It's officially the first named storm of the year.

Andrea is still moving slowly westward, but a high pressure to the west
suggests that she will make landfall probably somewhere along northeast
Florida. She is not a big storm with winds around 45 mph (TS winds:
39-73 mph). The system is moving very slowly (3mph) so there is time
for a bit of intensification as it continues to interact with the Gulf
Stream, but not enough to make a hurricane because it is already
interacting with land.
