Storm Active: October 9-
Around October 8, a non-tropical low pressure system formed well to the northwest of the Azores. The low quickly separated from the surrounding fronts and developed a tiny warm core, embedded in a larger upper-level trough. These characteristics, along with gale force winds, led to the designation of Subtropical Storm Karen late on October 9. This was the northernmost formation by an Atlantic tropical or subtropical cyclone on record, at 44.5°N.
As of 11:00am EDT on October 10, 2025, Subtropical Storm Karen had sustained winds of 45 mph, a central pressure of 998 mb, and was moving northeast at 13 mph.

Tropical Storm Jerry (2025)
Storm Active: October 7-
On October 3, a late season tropical wave entered the Atlantic basin. It moved quickly toward the west-northwest and steadily organized. By October 6, the wave had a very impressive satellite signature, featuring a broad area of spin and concentrated thunderstorm activity. The next day, it was named Tropical Storm Jerry. Jerry was still over a thousand miles east of the Lesser Antilles, but was moving quickly toward the west-northwest. Despite a strong start, the storm actually became less organized after it was named. By the next day, shear opposite to its forward motion had displaced all thunderstorm activity east-southeast of the center. Nevertheless, it managed to strengthen some through the evening of October 8.
Jerry approached the Leeward Islands the next day. The center made its closest approach to land during the evening of the 9th, but the accompanying rains peaked over the islands only overnight and into the next morning, since convection was so removed from the center. The storm wasn't strong, but did cause widespread flooding for the northeasternmost Caribbean islands. Only on the 10th did Jerry lift north away from the Leewards. The cyclone's center was very poorly defined, with a pronounced elongation in the northwest-southeast direction.
As of 11:00am EDT on October 10, 2025, Tropical Storm Jerry had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph, a minimum central pressure of 1006 mb, and was moving northwest at 16 mph. For more up-to-date information as well as the latest watches and warnings, please consult the National Hurricane Center.
