DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

track, the core of the system is expected to be near or to the
north of the northern Leeward Islands late Thursday and Friday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is expected during the next few days, and Jerry is
forecast to become a hurricane on Thursday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible in portions of the
northern Leeward Islands within the watch area late Thursday into
Friday.

RAINFALL: On Thursday into early Friday, 2 to 4 inches of rain are
expected across the Leeward Islands due to Jerry. This rainfall
brings a risk of flash flooding, especially in areas of higher
terrain.

SURF: Swells generated by Jerry are expected to reach the Leeward
and Windward Islands on Thursday, then spread westward toward the
Greater Antilles on Friday. These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.
