ORLANDO, Fla. – Two tropical systems are active in the Atlantic, but neither is showing signs of major development.
Here’s the latest on Tropical Storm Jerry and Tropical Storm Karen as they move across the Atlantic.
Tropical Storm Jerry
Tropical Storm Jerry is still struggling to organize. Recent aircraft and satellite data suggests Jerry’s center might even be stretching out, and its pressure has been rising, meaning the storm is weakening slightly.
While the storm’s center is passing north of the Leeward Islands, radar shows that heavy rain continues across the area.
Jerry is moving northwest but is expected to turn north Friday night and then northeast early next week, staying well southeast of Bermuda through Sunday.
Tropical Storm Karen
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Karen is hanging on over the north Atlantic, caught within a large upper-level low pressure system. Karen is compact, with some moderate thunderstorms mainly on its eastern side.
Karen is moving northeast and will speed up as it gets caught in a larger weather system. Even though it’s over cooler waters, some unstable air aloft is helping it maintain minimal storm activity for now.
The next named storm will be called Lorenzo.
Hurricane season runs through November.
