Tropical Storm Jerry is likely to develop within the next two days over the Atlantic.
Visible satellite images indicate that the area of low pressure, designated 95L, is gradually becoming better organized in the central Atlantic. Environmental conditions appear generally conducive for slow development of this system, and a tropical depression or storm is likely to form within the next couple of days while it moves quickly west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.
This system is expected to be near or north of the northern Leeward Islands on Thursday and Friday, and interests there should monitor its progress. Based upon the latest data, this storm does NOT pose a threat to SWFL.
NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN, SOUTHWESTERN GULF:
A trough of low pressure located over the northwestern Caribbean Sea is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This system is expected to move across the Yucatan Peninsula tonight and early Tuesday, and then track over the Bay of Campeche late Tuesday through Wednesday.
Some slow development of this system is possible over the Bay of Campeche around the middle of the week. Regardless of development, areas of heavy rain and gusty winds are likely across portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, Belize, and southern Mexico during the next few days.
