Subtropical Storm Andrea formed off the southeastern US coast Wednesday, becoming the first named storm of the year three weeks before the Atlantic hurricane season officially starts.

On Wednesday morning, the storm was 240 kilometers (150 miles) northeast of Daytona Beach, Florida, and packed sustained winds of 75 kilometers (45 miles) per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Forecasters have warned the six-month Atlantic hurricane season that starts on June 1 would be a very active one, and predicted 17 named storms would form of which nine could become hurricanes, highly likely to strike Caribbean and US coasts.

Aided by new observations from the Coupled Boundary Layer Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST) - Hurricane field program, scientists at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science have helped to develop and test a new, high-resolution computer model to better understand how air-sea interactions directly affect hurricane intensity, a factor not yet possible in the current operational forecast models.
