Tropical Storm Jerry<\/a>\u00a0is still forecast to become a Category 1 hurricane later this week, but environmental conditions that have been limiting its development could help to save the Leeward Island from getting hit with hurricane-force winds and rains.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Thursday morning that Jerry will likely have turned out to sea by the time it becomes a hurricane. The NHC’s latest track forecast shows Jerry becoming a Cat 1 storm by Friday afternoon after passing near the northern Leeward Islands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Because the storm’s strongest winds are on its east side, forecasters said the islands are not likely to face sustained tropical storm-force winds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As of 7 a.m. Thursday, Jerry was 355 miles east-southeast of the northern Leeward Islands and producing maximum sustained winds of 65 mph. Forecasters said Jerry was moving west northwest at 20 mph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jerry is not a threat to Louisiana or the Gulf Coast, but a tropical storm watch<\/a> was in effect for portions of the Caribbean as of Thursday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Forecasters warned that those in the Leeward and Virgin islands should monitor Jerry’s development and expect heavy rainfall in some areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NHC forecasters also highlighted a non-tropical area of low pressure several hundred miles west-northwest of the Azores Thursday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The disturbance was producing some showers near its center and had a low chance of developing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While there is a chance of some development, forecasters said the system is expected to move into cooler waters with stronger wind shear. It is not a threat to Louisiana.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As of 7 a.m. Thursday, NHC forecasters said the disturbance had a 10% chance of forming within the next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
