Hurricane season is officially in full swing, which means we're tracking the tropics every day. Now, we could have our first named storm of the season.
According to ABC Action News Meteorologist Greg Dee, the Tampa Bay area may see tropical depression 1, or potentially Tropical Storm Andrea, due to the low pressure in the Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center is currently predicting a 70% chance for the system to develop over the next two days.

Additionally, the system would only be around for a very short period of time—Dee said it has around 36 to 48 hours to live.
