Tropical Storm Jerry has weakened to just remnants. Jerry's remnants are moving toward the north near 16 mph with winds near 45 mph.

The remnants are expected to turn toward the northeast over the next couple of days. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph with higher gusts.

Swells continue to impact the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Bahamas. These swells will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

Farther east, a tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands continues to produce a large and persistent area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.

The National Hurricane Center gives the system a 50% chance of development over the next 7 days as it moves westward across the eastern Atlantic.
