A new tropical storm could form in the Atlantic this week and continue the 2025 hurricane season’s backloaded burst of tropical activity. Even though fewer storms tend to form now, in the late-season, history has shown how devastating they can be, particularly since development areas shift closer to land.
"It is becoming likely that this will organize into a tropical storm this week," AccuWeather senior meteorologist Dan Pydynowski told USA Today Network. This storm would be named, "Jerry," according to the National Hurricane Center.
