A new storm, Karen, rapidly forms overnight. It’s not a threat to land

Overnight, the eleventh named storm of the season rapidly developed in the far northern corner of the Atlantic.
Subtropical Storm Karen, like Tropical Storm Jerry, poses no immediately threat to any occupied land. Forecasters also say it has a short shelf life.
As of Friday’s 8 a.m. advisory, the National Hurricane Center said it expects the cold-weather storm to dissipate by Saturday in the cool northern waters.
Meanwhile, near the Caribbean, Tropical Storm Jerry is now no longer expected to strengthen into a hurricane at all.
As of the 8 a.m. advisory, the storm was pulling away from the northernmost Leeward Islands. Only St. Barthelemy, St. Martin and Sint Maarten remained under a tropical storm warning.
For the next few days, the hurricane center predicts Jerry will head straight north, before curving east and away from Bermuda on Sunday afternoon.
