Tropical Storm Jerry will continue to move away from the northern Leeward Islands today.
As of 5 a.m. EDT/AST, Tropical Storm Jerry was located near 24.5N and 63.4W, or about 435 miles north of the northern Leeward Islands and 545 miles south of Bermuda. Jerry was packing top sustained winds of 60 mph and was moving quickly to the north at 16 mph. Jerry’s minimum central pressure was 1004 mb, or 29.65 inches of mercury.
Tropical Storm Jerry moved to the north of the northern Leeward Islands Friday morning and has continued to move in the northward direction for the most part. As Jerry moves away from the northern Leeward Islands, it will encounter a harsh environment featuring cooler waters and moderate to strong vertical wind shear. This should allow Jerry to gradually weaken into early next week.
Swells generated by Jerry are affecting the Leeward and Windward Islands. These swells will continue to spread westward toward the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico and toward the rest of the Greater Antilles over the next couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Jerry is anticipated to track east of Bermuda late this weekend before turning eastward early next week. Anyone with interests in Bermuda should pay close attention to the forecast for Jerry in the coming days.
Even though the calendar has flipped to October, it’s important to remember that hurricane season doesn’t officially end until November 30. Historically, October averages two to three named storms, and some can still reach hurricane strength. This time of year, tropical development tends to shift toward the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, where warmer waters and favorable atmospheric conditions persist, even as wind shear increases over the central Atlantic. While storm frequency typically drops after September, the threat remains very real as October and November can still produce dangerous and impactful systems.
The U.S. has been fortunate so far this season, with only Tropical Storm Chantal making landfall. It is still crucial to be prepared for impacts from a tropical system regardless. Have a “go-to” bag ready with chargers, water, food, and other necessities. Also, take the time to scope out multiple evacuation routes, in case your preferred one is traffic-jammed or blocked.
