The National Hurricane Center is already watching a potential storm in the Atlantic

Hurricane season could begin before its official start for a seventh year in a row in the Atlantic Ocean, as the National Hurricane Center monitors a developing weather system that could become this season's first named storm.

Hurricane season could begin before its official start for a seventh year in a row in the Atlantic Ocean, as the National Hurricane Center monitors a developing weather system that could become this season's first named storm.

Wednesday morning, the center noted a region in the North Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Bermuda, as an area to watch for subtropical development. The weather system has a 40% or "medium" chance of formation within the next five days. If it becomes a tropical or subtropical storm, it will be named Ana.
