By Bill Galluccio May 23, 2021 Tropical Storm Ana has formed in the Atlantic Ocean, becoming the first named storm of 2021. The Atlantic hurricane season does not officially begin until June 1. It is the seventh straight year in which a named storm formed before June 1. Ana was about 200 miles northeast of Bermuda when its maximum sustained winds reached 45 mph on Saturday (May 22). While the storm was moving away from Bermuda, the island was under tropical storm watch due to the high winds. As of Sunday morning, Ana was moving northeast at a speed of 12 mph, and the tropical storm watch was dropped.
