Tropical Storm Ana was the latest forming first named storm in the Atlantic since Tropical Storm Arthur in 1984. Forming out of an area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave on August 11, Ana briefly attained tropical storm intensity on August 12 before weakening back to a depression. The following day, the system degenerated into a non-convective remnant low as it tracked westward. On August 14, the depression regenerated roughly 1,075 mi (1,730 km) east of the Leeward Islands. Early on August 15, the storm re-attained tropical storm status, at which time it was named Ana. After reaching a peak intensity with winds of 40 mph (64 km/h) and a barometric pressure of 1,003 mbar, the storm began to weaken again due to increasing levels of wind shear and the unusually fast movement of Ana. In post-storm analysis, it was discovered that Ana had degenerated into a tropical wave once more on August 16, before reaching any landmasses. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 40 mph (35 knots), lowest pressure 1003 mb. August 10 – August 16, 2009. Accumulated cyclone energy: 0.9.
