The season produced 17 tropical cyclones, of which 15 became named storms, four became hurricanes, and two attained major hurricane status. Although the season's first tropical cyclone developed on May 20th, the season did not officially start until June 1st. The most intense storm of the season was Hurricane Lorenzo with a minimum central pressure of 927 mbar and maximum recorded wind speeds of 135 miles per hour.

Tropical Storm Andrea
A tropical wave originating from the coast of West Africa developed a tropical depression east of the Lesser Antilles on May 20th. The depression moved westwards over the next day, brushing the Lesser Antilles. Late on May 21st, the system had become well-organized with a warm central pressure area and strengthened into Tropical Storm Andrea. The storm tracked northwestward over the next 3 days before making landfall in Cuba as a tropical storm on May 24th. Andrea weakened into a tropical depression as it continued a northward track, brushing the east coast of Florida. The storm continued it's track northeastward, weakening into a low-pressure area on May 26th, and dissipating later the same day.
