Subtropical Storm Jerry formed Sunday in the Atlantic Ocean but posed no immediate threat to land, AP quoted the National Hurricane Center as saying. As of 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT), Jerry was located about 1,070 miles (1,722 kilometers) west of the Azores, with maximum sustained winds near 40 mph (64 kph). Forecasters said the storm was nearly stationary but was expected to begin moving slowly north-northeast later Sunday. Subtropical storms are hybrid systems that get energy from warm waters like tropical ones, but also from colliding warm and cold air masses like more common storms over land. Jerry is the 10th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season. Its winds extended outward about 105 miles (169 kilometers).
