Overview

• The National Hurricane Center’s 5 a.m. advisory put Tropical Storm Jerry at 60 mph about 435 miles north of the Leewards and 545 miles south of Bermuda, moving north at 16 mph.
• Forecasters expect a north to north-northeast track through the weekend with a turn east on Monday, gradual weakening, and a transition to post-tropical by Monday.
• Tropical-storm-force winds extend up to 205 miles from Jerry’s center, and swells are reaching the Leewards, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and Turks and Caicos, with the Bahamas Saturday and possibly Florida later this weekend.
• Karen, which formed near 46.3°N with 45 mph winds, has become post-tropical, and meteorologists note its unusually high-latitude genesis with analyses showing tropical characteristics.
• A tropical wave south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands has a 10% chance of development in 48 hours and 30% in seven days as it moves west-northwest to northwest at 15–20 mph.
