<p>MIAMI &mdash; Subtropical storm Ana formed in the Atlantic Ocean early Saturday, according to the National Hurricane Center.</p>
<p>Ana was located about 200 miles (320 kilometers) northeast of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph), the hurricane center said in a 5 a.m. advisory.</p>
<p>The system was expected to continue its slow and erratic motion, and then dissipate in a few days, forecasters said.</p>
<p>A tropical storm watch was in effect for Bermuda.</p>
<p>The hurricane center said Ana is a subtropical storm because it is “entangled with an upper-level low,” but still has some “tropical characteristics.”</p>
<p>Ana was the first named storm in the Atlantic this year, though hurricane season doesn’t officially start until June 1. Meteorologists expect the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/storms-climate-change-science-36988987ea57a8763a719da4fc32bb33">2021 season to be busy,</a> but not as crazy as the record-breaking 2020 season.</p>
