Hurricane season doesn't start for another three weeks, but that didn't stop the year's first named storm from making an early debut off the southeast coast Wednesday.

Subtropical Storm Andrea gathered about 140 miles southeast of Savannah and packed winds of about 45 mph as it crawled slowly west toward land. A tropical storm watch was issued for parts of Georgia and Florida.

Andrea is the first Atlantic storm to be named in May since Tropical Storm Arlene in 1981 and the third-earliest named squall since 1950. Tropical Storm Ana appeared in late April 2003 but raged far out to sea.
