Subtropical Storm Arlene[]

Subtropical storm (SSHWS)
SS Alex
DurationMarch 28 – April 2
Peak intensity65 mph (100 km/h) (1-min) 983 mbar (hPa)

On March 24,A low pressure system formed east of the Bahamas. The invest quickly organized,and was designated Invest 90L on March 27, and the winds increased to 40 mph. Early on March 28, the low was designated Subtropical Storm Arlene. The winds slowly increased over 3 days,as the storm quickly headed north.On April 1,the storm reached peak intensity 500 miles east of North Carolina,Before quickly losing organization due to extreme wind shear and was deemed extratropical east of New York on 18:00 on April 2. This storm was the most intense a in the month of March in the Atlantic basin,surpassing Hurricane #1 in 1908 as well as being the first March storm in almost 100 years. Additionally,unrelated to Arlene, Tropical Storm Adrian in the Eastern Pacific basin also formed before the corresponding hurricane season was set to officially begin, being the earliest named storm in the Eastern Pacific proper.This makes 2017 the second consecutive year after 2016 where the first storms in both basins were pre-season storms.

Tropical Storm Bret[]

Tropical storm (SSHWS)
Arlene 2017-04-20 1512Z
DurationApril 20 – April 21
Peak intensity50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 990 mbar (hPa)

An extratropical cyclone formed east of Bermuda on April 16. It moved southeast, becoming disconnected from the surrounding environment and gradually losing its frontal characteristics. Deep convection formed in bands north and east of the center by 00:00 UTC, and gradually on April 19, leading to the formation of a subtropical depression. Despite an unfavorable environment, with ocean temperatures near 20 °C (68 °F) and moderate wind shear, convection coalesced near the center and allowed the subtropical depression to become fully tropical by 00:00 UTC on April 20. It intensified into Tropical Storm Bret six hours later. After attaining peak winds of 50 mph (85 km/h), the storm began to rotate counterclockwise around a larger extratropical low. The storm tracked into the cold sector of the cyclone, causing Arlene to lose tropical characteristics around 12:00 UTC on April 21. The cyclone moved southeast, before dissipating well west-southwest of the Azores on April 22.

Upon its formation as a subtropical depression on April 19, Bret was the sixth known subtropical or tropical cyclone to form in the month of April in the Atlantic basin; the other instances were Ana in 2003, a subtropical storm in April 1992, and three tropical depressions in 1912, 1915, and 1973, respectively. When Bret became a tropical storm on April 20, this marked only the second such occurrence on record, after Ana in 2003. Furthermore, it had the lowest central pressure of any Atlantic storm recorded in the month of April, with a central pressure of 990 mbar (hPa; 29.23 inHg), again surpassing Ana.
