The National Hurricane Center continues to track the tenth named storm of the Atlantic season. Tropical Storm Jerry is moving WNW in the Atlantic and is expected to become a hurricane by this weekend.

High development chance for Atlantic wave into depression this week; Gulf system fades. Track paths, forecasts, and Florida impacts with NHC updates.

Forecasters say environmental conditions remain conducive for gradual development as the system travels west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic. The disturbance could reach the Leeward Islands — including the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico — by the middle or latter part of this week.

The chances that the Atlantic's 10th named storm, Jerry, could form over the next few days increased again slightly on Tuesday morning.

The team of meteorologists responsible for the Atlantic hurricane season forecast for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) offered their latest update back in August; their prediction for the likelihood of an above-average season is 50%.

Tropical Storm Beta was predicted to bring a foot of rain to parts of coastal Texas and Louisiana next week as the 23rd named storm of this year's Atlantic hurricane season moves ashore on Monday night,
