The National Hurricane Center's 2 a.m. Wednesday advisory reported that Tropical Storm Jerry is in the Atlantic Ocean, 950 miles east-southeast of the Northern Leeward Islands. The system, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph, is moving west-northwest at 23 mph.
Tropical Storm Jerry will probably be blown out to sea by a separate storm near the East Coast, which could bring significant rain, wind and wave-related impacts, particularly to the coastal Carolinas and Virginia.
A tropical wave in the central tropical Atlantic Ocean is set to form in the coming days as it quickly approaches the northern Leeward Islands, forecasters with the National Hurricane Center in Miami said at 7 a.
