Andro began as a very weak cloud that had high levels of convection. However, it was disorganized. The front over the Islands helped it develop, and it became a low. The low absorbed the front, and intensfied into Tropical Depression. It slightly intensified, but stayed in intensity for about 18-24 hours. It intensified again and became Tropical Storm Andro. Andro gradually became stronger as a system over the islands pushed it west-northwest. Carrying it up northwest, and soon north, Andro became a hurricane. It slowed down near Bermuda and reached it's peak of 105 mph. It began to feel the effects of cold water, and it rapidly detoriated into a depression. The depression made landfall in Newfoundland, and dissipated 125 miles into the Arctic Ocean.
