Tropical Storm Jerry formed over the central Atlantic Ocean Tuesday and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane this week.

According to the NHC’s latest Tropical Weather Outlook, issued at 2:00 a.m. EDT on Thursday, the non-tropical low is already producing gale-force winds, though shower activity near its center remains limited. The system could briefly acquire subtropical or tropical characteristics before it moves into even less favorable conditions later this week.

The National Hurricane Center's 8 p.m. Wednesday advisory reported that Tropical Storm Jerry is in the Atlantic Ocean, 560 miles east-southeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. The system, with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph, is moving west-northwest at 21 mph.

Will it rain today? Atlantic hurricane season is June 1 to Nov. 30, 2025, with most tropical storm activity between August and October in Florida.

Forecasters are tracking future Tropical Storm Jerry and another tropical disturbance in the Atlantic, including one with a slight chance of impacting Florida.

Tropical Storm Jerry will probably be blown out to sea by a separate storm near the East Coast, which could bring significant rain, wind and wave-related impacts, particularly to the coastal Carolinas and Virginia.
