MIAMI —

Tropical Storm Jerry picked up a little speed as it moves northeast in the Atlantic but with no change in strength.

The storm's maximum sustained winds Wednesday evening are near 40 mph (65 kph).

The storm is centered about 1,080 miles (1,735 kilometers) west-northwest of the Azores and is moving about 7 mph (11 kph).

The storm isn't currently threatening any land.

Jerry is the 10th tropical storm of the Atlantic season.
