"A rapidly-developing feature in the Atlantic has set a new record for the earliest E-named storm in the basin's recorded history.
Tropical Storm Elsa formed early Thursday morning just over 820 miles east-southeast of the Windward Islands. Elsa is the fifth tropical storm of the season in the Atlantic.
With its formation early in the morning of July 1, Tropical Storm Elsa dethroned 2020's Tropical Storm Edouard as the earliest E-named storm in the Atlantic basin. Edouard formed July 6, 2020."
