Tropical Storm Jerry is bringing heavy rain and the threat of flash flooding to the Leeward Islands as it moves away into the Atlantic, with no current threat to the U.S. mainland, and a new tropical wave may develop in the Atlantic but pose no threat to the Caribbean.
Tropical Storm Jerry has become the 10th named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season and is forecast to become a hurricane by Friday, with warnings issued for parts of the Leeward Islands. The storm is expected to turn north and out to sea, but it is causing heavy rain, surf, and rip currents in the Caribbean and U.S. East Coast, amid a potentially active hurricane season.
Tropical Storm Jerry has formed in the central Atlantic and is expected to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane, potentially impacting the northern Leeward Islands, but is not expected to threaten the US mainland due to a cold front. The Atlantic hurricane season is winding down, but late-season storms and weather patterns like the Central American Gyre could still produce significant storms in October and November.
Tropical Storm Jerry has formed in the Atlantic and is expected to strengthen into a hurricane within a few days, with its core forecasted to approach the northern Leeward Islands; its impact on Florida or the U.S. remains uncertain, but it is generating dangerous swells and rip currents.
A tropical wave named Invest 95L in the central Atlantic is likely to develop into a tropical depression or storm this week, with a track that may pass northeast of the Leeward Islands and potentially impact Bermuda, as it benefits from favorable conditions for development.
Hurricane Norma is expected to hit Mexico's Los Cabos resort area with destructive winds, flash flooding, and a dangerous storm surge, while Hurricane Tammy bears down on the Leeward Islands. Norma, a Category 2 storm, is forecasted to make landfall in Baja California Sur, including Cabo San Lucas, bringing life-threatening conditions. Tammy, a Category 1 storm, has triggered hurricane warnings for the Leeward Islands. Both storms are not a threat to the US. Heavy rainfall, flooding, and strong winds are expected in the affected areas.
Two hurricanes, Tammy in the Atlantic and Norma in the eastern Pacific, are set to strike land this weekend. While neither pose a threat to the US, Norma has triggered hurricane warnings for Mexico, including the popular resort town of Cabo San Lucas, and Tammy for portions of the Leeward Islands. Tammy is the third hurricane to form this far southeast in the Atlantic since 1900 and the latest-forming hurricane in this part of the Atlantic since 1966. Heavy rainfall and storm surges are expected, with potential for flash flooding and mudslides.
Hurricane Tammy is strengthening in the tropical Atlantic and is expected to become a category 1 hurricane as it approaches the Leeward Islands. The storm is likely to pass near or over the islands, with Barbuda expected to be the most impacted. Heavy rains and winds are predicted, with Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands expected to receive lesser amounts. Hurricane Norma, approaching Mexico's Baja Peninsula, has weakened to a category 2 hurricane and is expected to weaken further due to increased wind shear and dry air. The storm is forecasted to pass close to or over the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula before making landfall north of Mazatlan. In the north Indian Ocean, Tropical Cyclone 05A is predicted to intensify to a category 3 storm, while disturbance 92B in the Bay of Bengal has the potential to develop into a tropical depression.
Tropical Storm Tammy, currently located in the Atlantic, could potentially reach hurricane intensity by the end of the weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm is expected to move near or over the Leeward Islands on Friday and Saturday, with tropical storm watches issued for several areas. Tammy may bring heavy rainfall of up to 10 inches to parts of the northern Windward into the Leeward Islands, along with life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Tropical Storm Philippe brought heavy rainfall and flash flooding to the Leeward Islands, including Barbuda, Antigua, and Guadeloupe. Power outages and road blockages were reported, and the storm is expected to continue moving northwest, bringing heavy rains to the northern Leeward Islands. Forecast models predict that Philippe will strengthen as it approaches Atlantic Canada, with a potential landfall on Sunday. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Lidia formed in the eastern Pacific, while Typhoon Koinu weakened as it heads towards Taiwan.
Tropical Storm Philippe is slowly moving across the Atlantic Ocean, threatening the Leeward Islands with heavy rain, flooding, and high winds. It is expected to become a hurricane later in the week. The storm has already outlasted Tropical Storm Rina and is part of an above-normal hurricane season. While a tropical storm warning is in effect for Antigua and Barbuda, Philippe is not forecasted to directly impact the United States.
Tropical Depression strengthens into Tropical Storm Cindy in the Atlantic Ocean, located about 1,110 miles east of the Lesser Antilles with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. The system is moving west-northwest and is expected to remain well northeast of the northern Leeward Islands through early next week, with some strengthening forecast during the next couple of days.
Tropical Depression 4 has formed in the central Atlantic, while Tropical Storm Bret is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rains to portions of the Leeward Islands. The depression is expected to remain east of the northern Leeward Islands through the weekend, while Bret is expected to move across the Lesser Antilles and then move westward across the eastern and central Caribbean Sea. A Hurricane Watch is in effect for St. Lucia, while a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Dominica, St. Lucia, and Martinique.
Tropical Depression 4 has formed in the Atlantic Ocean and is expected to become a tropical storm named Cindy later today or tomorrow. It is predicted to pass north of the Leeward Islands and become a remnant low by Tuesday. The system is weak and models are not yet accurate in predicting its path. Tropical Storm Bret is also being tracked.
Tropical Storm Bret is expected to bring gusty winds and heavy rain to some of the Leeward Islands on Thursday before weakening and dissipating in the central Caribbean over the weekend. The storm is not expected to become a hurricane, but tropical storm warnings and watches are in effect for some islands. Another tropical wave to the east of Bret in the central Atlantic could become a tropical depression in the next day or two. The Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1 and lasts until Nov. 30, with NOAA predicting a near-average season.
