Tropical Storm Jerry formed Tuesday over the central Atlantic Ocean, becoming the 10th named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, according to CBS News. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported that Jerry is located over 1,300 miles east-southeast of the northern Leeward Islands, tracking westward with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph.

The storm is expected to gradually strengthen as it moves northwest, potentially reaching hurricane status by Wednesday. Current forecasts indicate that Jerry could bring rain and wind to the Leeward Islands later in the week, which may necessitate tropical storm watches for the region according to India Times and ABC News.

Forecasters indicate that while Tropical Storm Jerry is not expected to impact the U.S. mainland, it may track close to Bermuda by the end of the weekend, bringing some potential impacts, according to the NHC and reports from CBS News and ABC News. This year's hurricane season has seen a resurgence in activity, following a quiet mid-August, with several storms forming rapidly over the past weeks.

Historically, the late hurricane season can still be quite active, and meteorologists are evaluating conditions that might lead to further developments, particularly in storm-generating patterns like the Central American Gyre, as noted by India Times. This follows historical trends where late-season storms have caused significant impacts, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring.
