DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK

At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Jerry was
located near latitude 15.5 North, longitude 57.1 West. Jerry is
moving toward the west-northwest near 18 mph (30 km/h), and this
general motion is expected to continue through today. A turn to the

by a northward motion on Friday and Saturday. On the forecast track,
the center of Jerry is expected to pass near or to the northeast of
the northern Leeward Islands later today and tonight.

Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts. Gradual strengthening is forecast during the next few days,
and Jerry could become a hurricane late this week or this weekend.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km)
from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches).

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

RAINFALL: Through Friday, 2 to 4 inches of rain with local storm
total maxima to 6 inches are expected across the Leeward Islands,
British Virgin Islands, and U.S. Virgin Islands. This rainfall
brings a risk of flash flooding, especially in areas of steep
terrain.

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

Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, can be found at: hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?ripCurrents
