(CNN) - There are currently five cyclones named in the Atlantic and Pacific: a hurricane, three tropical storms and a post-tropical cyclone. In addition, the remnants of what was Cyclone Imelda cause heavy flooding in areas of Texas. This is what we know.

Hurricane Jerry

Hurricane Jerry rose to category 2 on Friday and was building steady winds of 105 mph (165 km / h) in the Atlantic as it headed north to the Leeward Islands, meteorologists said.

The storm will pass north of the islands later this Friday and north of Puerto Rico on Saturday, the National Hurricane Center said.

By Sunday, it will be "east-northeast" of the southeast of the Bahamas, the center said.

The hurricane could pass near Bermuda in just over four days, he added.

Jerry, which moved 290 miles (466 kilometers) east of the northern part of the Leeward Islands early Friday, will weaken throughout the day, but will remain a hurricane in the next few days, the center said. Its winds with hurricane force extended up to 25 miles (35 kilometers), while winds with tropical storm force could be felt 80 miles (130 kilometers) from the center of the storm.

Tropical storm alerts are valid for the islands of San Maarten, San Martin, San Bartolomé, Saba and San Eustaquio.

"Although Jerry's eye is expected to move to the north of the North Leeward Islands, it is possible that heavy rain and flash floods may be recorded today," the center said.

This is what you can expect from Jerry

Jerry, the tenth storm named for the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season, will shed up to three inches of rain from Barbuda to the northwest through San Maarten, Anguilla and Anegada, the hurricane center said.

Up to 5.1 centimeters of rain will fall in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, he said.

Tropical Storm Lorraine

Tropical Storm Lorena is located off the southern coast of the Mexican state of Sinaloa and is heading towards Baja California Sur, said the National Meteorological Service of Mexico. Intense to extraordinary rains are forecast that could generate landslides, increased river and stream channels and floods in low-lying areas of these regions, according to the latest report.

Previously, the United States National Hurricane Center said Lorena is forecast to regain hurricane strength. It currently carries winds of 70 mph (110 km / h), according to the center.

Tropical Storm Kiko

Maximum wind speed: 85 km / h

• It moves at 9 km / h
• Kiko, which was a hurricane in the Pacific, is not expected to strengthen in the next few days, the National Hurricane Center said.
• It is not expected to affect the land soon.

Tropical Storm Mario

Maximum wind speed: 100 km / h

• Mario is in the Pacific, far from the coast of Mexico.
• A strengthening is forecast this Friday, following as a tropical storm, but it would weaken between Saturday and Sunday, and then to depression on Tuesday.

Post-tropical cyclone Humberto

• Large waves and swells generated by Humberto will continue along the Bermuda coast for the next day or two, and these could continue to cause coastal flooding, the National Hurricane Center said.
• The waves will continue to affect the northwest of the Bahamas and much of the United States coast from central-eastern Florida to the mid-Atlantic states for the next few days.
• These waves can cause swells and potentially fatal surf currents.

Remnants of tropical depression Imelda

Remnants of tropical depression Imelda are causing some of the most serious flooding in southeast Texas since Hurricane Harvey, which created major problems in August 2017.

Overall, Harvey, who claimed dozens of lives and caused damage to billions of dollars, threw more rain than Imelda.

Harvey broke the record for precipitation from a single storm in the United States, throwing more than 152.4 centimeters east of Houston. Harvey left 86.4 centimeters of rain at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, and more than 101.6 centimeters in areas east of the city.
