Tropical Storm Jerry forming in Atlantic

Tropical Depression Eleven strengthened into Tropical Storm Jerry late Monday morning in the central Atlantic Ocean.
Little change in strength is expected into midweek as Jerry meanders in the central Atlantic well away from land.
By late in the week, Jerry should eventually turn northeastward and accelerate.
Jerry, the tenth named storm of the season, is no threat to the United States or any other land areas.
Below we have maps with additional information on Jerry.

How does the system look on satellite imagery. Click on "infrared" satellite imagery, to see how "cold" the cloud tops are. Brighter orange and red shadings concentrated near the center of circulation signify a healthy tropical cyclone.
