Named Storm Jerry 2013

Tropical Storm Jerry formed in the central Atlantic from a tropical depression earlier today. This storm will move to the north and then to the northeast, well away from any US coastal areas. For that reason, this will be our only mention of Tropical Storm Jerry.

However, we are carefully watching an area of low pressure and storminess in the central Caribbean. There are some indications of movement into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico in a few days with slow development, but a strong dip in the Jet Stream will be interacting with this potential storm to keep it relatively weak. Persons along the entire Gulf Coast should monitor local weather advisories starting Thursday, October 03, and running through October 09. If this Caribbean storm warrants additional comments, it will be done in a newly started post.
