This swirl of clouds over Florida is where hurricane forecasters are paying the most attention for the potential of a new tropical storm. As of now, according to the National Hurricane Center, the system "has not become any better organized during the past several hours. However ... surface pressures have contineud to fall and the environment is gradually becoming favorable for a subtropical or tropical cyclone to form." The system is expected to drift west into the Gulf of Mexico. If it develops into a tropical storm, it would be named Jerry. It's a bit too early to determine what, if any, effect this system could have on our area.
