Tropical Storm Jerry forms and is forecast to be a hurricane by Thursday
ORLANDO, Fla. — Tropical Storm Jerry spurred new tropical storm watches for parts of the Leeward Islands as it continued strengthening Wednesday, with the expectation of becoming a hurricane by Thursday, the National Hurricane Center said in its 5 p.m. EDT update.
Jerry’s maximum sustained winds increased to 60 mph Wednesday afternoon as it moved west-northwest at 15 mph, the NHC said. The system will be considered a Category 1 hurricane when the winds begin blowing at 74 mph.
The system was about 765 miles east of the Leeward Islands as of 5 p.m.
“On the forecast track, the center of Jerry will be near or north of the northern Leeward Islands Friday and pass north of Puerto Rico on Saturday,” the NHC said.
