A new tropical storm could form in the Atlantic this week and continue the 2025 hurricane season’s backloaded burst of tropical activity. Even though fewer storms tend to form now, in the late-season, history has shown how devastating they can be, particularly since development areas shift closer to land.

According to the National Hurricane Center's 2 a.m. Thursday advisory, Tropical Storm Jerry is in the Atlantic Ocean, 560 miles east-southeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. Packing maximum sustained winds of 65 mph, it is tracking to the west-northwest at 21 mph.
