The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring a disturbance in the northern Atlantic, months before the official start of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.

The National Hurricane Center has tagged an area of interest in the Atlantic Ocean. The non-tropical low is located about 700 miles northeast of the northern Leeward Islands and is producing gale-force winds and a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms,
