Tropical Storm #Jerry forms over the tropical central Atlantic. Here is the Key Message.

Tropical Storm Jerry Key messages, issued at 11:00 AM AST on Tuesday, October 7, 2025. The key message states that Tropical Storm Jerry is forecast to pass near or just north of the northern Leeward Islands on Thursday night and Friday. People in that area should monitor the storm for potential wind, surf, and rainfall impacts. Watches may be issued later today or tonight.

The graphic includes two maps:

Top-right map: A forecast cone showing the projected path of Tropical Storm Jerry, which moves west-northwest across the Atlantic, approaching the northern Leeward Islands by Thursday night.

Bottom-right map: A colored probability map displaying the likelihood of tropical-storm-force winds over the next 120 hours.
