MIAMI – Tropical Storm Karen strengthened from the twelfth tropical depression of the season early today in the open Atlantic Ocean but posed no immediate threat to land.

At 5 a.m. EDT, Karen was centered about 1,565 miles east of the Windward Islands, with top sustained winds near 40 mph, the National Hurricane Center said. It was moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph and was expected to strengthen over the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Jerry weakened into a depression then dissipated in cooler waters. Jerry, which formed Sunday, broke up last night.
