TROPICS: (1) Tropical storm Jerry is over the Central Atlantic and will be just north/northeast of the Caribbean islands by Thursday/Friday while veering more northward. Jerry stays far to the east of the U.S.
(2) A wave over the Bay of Campeche will move into Mexico by Wednesday night.
(3) Low pressure will develop east/northeast of Jacksonville late this week and may try to take on some subtropical characteristics while moving offshore of the eastern seaboard. Always more: “Talking the Tropics With Mike.”
