Tropical storm Jerry, which never threatened anyone except shipping and fish, is fading in the mid-Atlantic. But hurricane forecasters are watching two more storms in the tropical Atlantic, including one that forecasters say looks like the "classic Cape Verdean" storm that can sometimes threaten the U.S. East Coast.

Here's the latest advisory on Jerry, which has been downgraded to a tropical depression. Here's his position. And here's the view from orbit.

Here's a broad view of the Atlantic. There are two storms of interest out there - one nearing the Windward Islands. The other - the one that has impressed forecasters - is on the lower right-hand side of the image. Here's another satellite view.

And here's what the tropical discussion had to say about that Cape Verdean storm:

"A 1007 MB LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS LOCATED ABOUT 565 NM SW OF THE
CAPE VERDE ISLANDS NEAR 8.5N31W. THIS LARGE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO
SHOW SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION...AND COULD BECOME A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO AS IT MOVES
WEST-NORTHWESTWARD NEAR 10-15 KT. A MORE CONCENTRATED AREA OF
SCATTERED MODERATE/ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION IS NOW MOSTLY W OF
THE CENTER FROM 8N-11N BETWEEN 31W-37W. ISOLATED CLUSTERS OF
MODERATE CONVECTION ARE ELSEWHERE FROM 5N-12N BETWEEN 29W-38W.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE CLASSIC LOOKING CAPE VERDE SYSTEMS WE
HAVE SEEN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS."
