In the busy tropics, Tropical Storm Jerry continues moving in the direction of Bermuda, where there is now a tropical storm watch. At 5 am Monday, Jerry was located near 27.8 North, 67.7 West, about 355 miles south-southwest of Bermuda. Jerry was moving north-northwest at 9 miles per hour.

Tropical Storm Karen is battling wind shear in the eastern Caribbean, but we’ll need to watch it carefully. At 5 am Monday, Karen was located near 13.6 North, 63.9 West, about 290 miles south-southeast of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Karen was moving northwest at 8 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 40 miles per hour. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and a tropical storm watch is in effect for the British Virgin Islands. Karen is quite disorganized now, but it will be entering a more favorable environment north of Puerto Rico on Wednesday. Meanwhile, a strong ridge is expected to build over the western Atlantic, and Karen is forecast to slow down and possibly loop east of the Bahamas late in the workweek. If the ridge remains strong enough, a U.S. landfall is not out of the question. Timing will be everything with Karen, and we’ll be watching it very closely.
In the eastern Atlantic, the wave we’ve been watching is now Tropical Depression # 13. At 5 am, TD # 13 was located near 10.8 North, 22.2 West, about 315 miles south-southeast of the Cape Verde Islands. TD # 13 was moving west at 15 miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds were 35 miles per hour, but TD # 13 is expected to reach tropical storm status later on Monday.
