National Hurricane Center Monitors Invest 95L With Potential to Form Tropical Storm Jerry Near Florida

A tropical system in the Atlantic Ocean, known as Invest 95L or AL95, is being closely monitored by the National Hurricane Center as it shows a high likelihood of developing into Tropical Storm Jerry within the coming days. Forecasters indicate a 70% chance of formation within 48 hours and an 80% chance within seven days, with the system moving west-northwest toward the northern Leeward Islands and potentially affecting parts of Florida. While the exact path remains uncertain, experts suggest the storm may turn north, possibly avoiding a direct U.S. East Coast landfall, though Florida is already experiencing coastal impacts such as rip currents, beach erosion, and flooding alerts. The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season continues to be active, with multiple storms forming but no recent landfalls, emphasizing the need for residents from Florida to New England to stay vigilant and monitor updates. Additionally, a separate low-pressure area in the northwestern Caribbean Sea currently has a low chance of development. Authorities have not issued any tropical storm or hurricane warnings for U.S. territories at this time but urge continued awareness as conditions evolve.
