SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Jerry was located by an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft near latitude 21.0 North, longitude 63.5 West. Jerry is moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h). The tropical storm is forecast to recurve over the western Atlantic during the next few days. On the forecast track, the center of Jerry will continue to pass well north of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico today, pass well east of the southeastern Bahamas on Sunday, and turn northward over the western Atlantic on Monday. Data from the reconnaissance aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Some fluctuations in strength are likely during the next several days. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km). The minimum central pressure based on data from the aircraft is estimated to be 995 mb (29.38 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Jerry can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml. RAINFALL: Jerry is expected to produce additional rain accumulations of 1 to 2 inches over Barbuda, St. Maarten, Anguilla, and Anegada. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flash floods. Jerry is also forecast to produce total rainfall accumulations of 1 to 2 inches across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. SURF: Swells generated by Jerry are affecting portions of the northern Leeward Islands. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
