Invest 95L has a high chance of developing into a tropical storm this week.
The next storm will be named Jerry.
The storm is moving westward and could impact the northeastern Caribbean islands later this week.
Most models suggest the storm will turn northward, potentially keeping it east of the U.S. mainland.
Another system is being monitored off the Southeast coast, but the risk of tropical development is low.
Why this matters: Residents of the Caribbean and the U.S. East Coast should monitor the storm's progress closely, as its path could change. Even if it remains offshore, rough surf and tidal flooding are possible.
A cluster of showers and thunderstorms in the eastern Atlantic is gradually becoming better organized and has been designated as Invest 95L by the National Hurricane Center. Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development, and a tropical depression is likely to form this week as the system moves quickly across the central tropical Atlantic.
While many options remain possible with its future track, the most likely scenario appears to be a northward turn as it passes by the Caribbean islands, keeping it east of the U.S. mainland. However, interests all across the Caribbean and along the East Coast of the U.S. should closely monitor the tropics through the middle of the month.
In the Eastern Pacific, Hurricane Octave and Tropical Storm Priscilla are churning to the west of Mexico. Priscilla will skirt the western coast of Mexico, bringing locally heavy rain and wind gusts. The next storm that may develop behind Priscilla could eventually result in locally heavy showers and thunderstorms to the Southwest and Four Corners in the U.S. by late this week and into next weekend.
