Florida — A system moving into the Caribbean has become a tropical storm, according to Channel 9 chief meteorologist Tom Terry.
Tropical Storm Bret became a named storm Monday.
It’s the first time on record a storm has formed this early in the season in the main development region, Terry said.
The storm is not expected to be a threat to Florida.

The potential storm will move toward the Texas and Louisiana coastline midweek, models show.
Parts of those coasts have been placed under a tropical storm warning
If it continues on that track, it will stay safely to the west of Florida.
“Being so close to Florida, we will monitor it carefully,” Shields said.
