Subtropical Storm Andrea is the first named storm and first subtropical cyclone of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season. It developed out of a previously non-tropical low on May 9 about 150 miles (240 km) northeast of Daytona Beach, Florida, three weeks before the start of the season. After encountering dry air and increased vertical wind shear, Andrea weakened to a subtropical depression on May 10 while remaining nearly stationary. The storm produced rough surf along the coastline from Florida to North Carolina, causing beach erosion and some damage. One surfer drowned in Florida from the rough surf.
Andrea is the first Atlantic named storm in May since Tropical Storm Arlene in 1981. Additionally, the storm is the first pre-season storm to develop since Tropical Storm Ana in April 2003.[1]
