Priscilla nears major hurricane status as new tropical storm forms in the Atlantic

  • The Associated Press

The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Jerry has formed in the Atlantic Ocean on a path toward the Caribbean. Jerry has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph Tuesday. It was expected to strengthen into a hurricane in the coming days. Meanwhile, Hurricane Priscilla could become a major hurricane off the Pacific coast of Mexico. Its top winds were at 110 mph early Tuesday, just shy of Category 3 major hurricane strength. A tropical storm watch is in place for Baja California Sur. The government on Monday night canceled classes and set up shelters in Los Cabos as a precaution.
