Tropical Weather Update - Watching for potential Gulf development, Tropical Storm Jerry expected to become hurricane

Tropical Storm Jerry became the 10th named storm of the season in the Central Atlantic on Tuesday and is expected to become a hurricane by the end of the week. Jerry will make a sharp turn to the north before reaching Puerto Rico and should get fairly close to Bermuda early next week. Another tropical wave that was near the Yucatan peninsula has tracked into the SW Gulf. It does not appear to be a threat to Houston but we will be watching it closely. It is projected to continue tracking west into southern Mexico bringing heavy rain, gusty wind and the threat for flooding.
