Hurricane Season Update: Tropical Disturbance in the Atlantic
A broad circulation is developing in the large disturbance tracking across the tropical Atlantic, according to recent satellite images. The thunderstorms are still disorganized, however, so it has a ways to go before it gets designated a tropical depression or tropical storm. The National Hurricane Center has odds in the high range that the system will organize.
As of October 6, 2025, the system, known as Invest 95L, is being closely monitored by weather experts. 
The tropical Atlantic Basin is currently experiencing dust and dry air, which appears to be the limiting factor in the system’s development. Even if the system becomes a depression or Tropical Storm Jerry, the dry air looks likely to tamp its ability to strengthen quickly.
Forecast and Potential Impact
Some computer forecasts show the system eventually developing into a hurricane, but the consensus is that it will not become terribly strong before it reaches the vicinity of the northeast Caribbean islands on Thursday or Friday. 
There is a strong consensus among the computer forecasts that the disturbance, or whatever it turns into, will track over or near the islands east of Puerto Rico. Everybody in the area should stay well-informed over the next few days and be ready for at least a gusty moisture surge.
East Coast Storm Possible
A sharp and strong dip in the jet stream is forecast to once again develop over the eastern part of the U.S. That should deflect any system that tracks near the islands into the central Atlantic. Additionally, long-range computer forecasts indicate that the sharp jet stream dip will generate a powerful nor’easter along or just offshore of the East Coast late in the week and through the weekend. If it develops, it won’t be a tropical system, but it could produce disruptive and potentially dangerous weather from North Florida to New England.
If the system develops like many of the computer forecasts indicate, the combination of the storm and the astronomical high tides could cause significant coastal flooding. Furthermore, if a nor’easter does develop as forecast, it could push a significant cold front south across Florida, although it’s not clear that South Florida will share in the seasonal change.
