Subtropical
Storm Olga formed over the Virgin Islands on
Monday, 10 days after the Atlantic hurricane season ended, forecasters said.
Olga formed
shortly before 9 p.m. EST, the National
Hurricane Center
said.
At 5 p.m. the
system was centered about 130 miles east of Puerto Rico.
It was expected to continue moving west or southwest at about 15 to 20 mph. But
conditions were expected to become gradually less favorable for development
over the next few days.
The Atlantic
hurricane season ended Nov. 30 after 14 named storms, including six hurricanes.
