UPDATE 9/19/19 11 PM:
Jerry is strengthening with winds up to 105. The storm will avoid the Caribbean Islands, the Bahamas and U.S. and will not be a threat. Wind shear will likely weaken the storm in the coming days before it makes the north turn.

UPDATE 9/19/19 11 AM:
Jerry is a hurricane with winds of 75 mph. The forecast track takes it close to the Leeward islands tomorrow before turning it northeast away from the Bahamas and U.S. next week.
FOX 4 CHIEF METEOROLOGIST DEREK BEASLEY
UPDATE 9/19/19 5AM:
Tropical Storm Jerry is expected to become a hurricane later today or Friday and continue west toward the northern Windward Islands. The forecast keeps Jerry to the north of the islands and east of the Bahamas through early next week before turning north in the Atlantic. Winds are at 70 mph with gusts of 85 mph. The storm is moving WNW at 16 mph. Jerry will NOT be a threat for the U.S.

UPDATE 9/18/19 8PM:
Jerry has winds up to 60 mph. Expected to become a hurricane by Friday. Forecast still trending toward a recurve north of the Greater Antilles toward Bermuda next week. U.S. threat looks unlikely at this time.
FOX 4 CHIEF METEOROLOGIST DEREK BEASLEY
UPDATE 9/18/19 11 AM:
Jerry continues to intensify, with winds up to 50 mph. Forecast track takes it near the Leeward Islands by Friday and north of Puerto Rico as a minimal hurricane by Saturday. The long-range looks to keep it east of the Bahamas and the eastern U.S early next week.
FOX 4 CHIEF METEOROLOGIST DEREK BEASLEY
UPDATE 9/18/19 5 AM:
Tropical Depression #10 has been upgraded to Tropical Storm Jerry this morning as it moves west in the open Atlantic. Jerry is expected to strengthen to a hurricane when its moves near the northern Leeward Islands Friday, although it is too soon to determine if there will be any direct impacts in the islands. Interests there should ensure they have their hurricane plan in place and monitor the progress of this system. Looking long term the models are indicating a turn to the north near the southeastern Bahamas which would keep impacts away from the U.S.

UPDATE 9/17/19 11 AM:
Tropical Depression 10 has formed in the Atlantic and is headed west toward the Lesser Antilles. It is expected to become a hurricane by late week as it approaches the northern Windward Islands. It is forecast to remain north of the islands through the period with longer range models turning it north and away from the U.S. as it finds a weakness in the Bermuda High. There is still plenty of time to watch this but right now it does not look like a U.S. threat.
