Around June 22, a low pressure system formed in association with a trough extending across the subtropical Atlantic. At the time, the low was east of Bermuda and already moving northeastward at a fast clip. By June 23, the system was producing gale-force winds, but it did not have quite enough organized thunderstorm activity to be a tropical cyclone. A little more organization pushed it over that threshold the next day and it was named Tropical Storm Andrea. Andrea's location of formation was the farthest northeast of any Atlantic tropical cyclone on record during the month of June.
However, the small storm was also destined to be one of the most short-lived on record. Cooler water and stronger shear quickly overwhelmed it and stripped it of any thunderstorm activity. Andrea degenerated into a remnant low by later that same day.
Andrea formed unusually north and east for a June tropical cyclone. It did not effect land.
