Tropical Storm Jerry has been named.

This system is expected to move quickly west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic, and then move near or north of the northern Leeward Islands on Thursday and Friday. Interests there should continue to monitor its progress.

Also in the southwestern Gulf, a trough of low pressure located over the Yucatan Peninsula is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.

This system is expected to emerge over the Bay of Campeche later today, and some slow development is possible before it moves inland over southern Mexico late Wednesday or early Thursday.

Regardless of development, areas of heavy rain and gusty winds are likely across portions of the Yucatan Peninsula, Belize, and southern Mexico during the next couple of day
