FOX Weather Hurricane Update: Tropical Storm Jerry and Coastal Storm Threat
As the 2025 hurricane season continues, FOX Weather is your go-to source for the latest updates and analysis. According to the latest forecast, Tropical Storm Jerry is expected to make its closest approach to the northeastern Caribbean islands tonight and early tomorrow. The current thinking is that the worst of the storm will stay offshore, but a small shift in the track could bring strong winds over some of the islands.
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the potentially affected islands, meaning that winds over 40 mph are possible. Residents in the area are advised to stay informed and prepare for potential impacts.
Tropical Storm Jerry: Latest Updates
Tropical Storm Jerry is currently located in the northeastern Caribbean, and its moisture tail is expected to swing through the area later tomorrow. The squally weather looks to last at least into Saturday, with some of the moisture potentially reaching Puerto Rico. However, the Virgin Islands and the islands around the northeastern Caribbean to Guadeloupe appear more likely to be in the moisture’s path.
The forecast calls for generally 2-4 inches of rain, with some spots potentially receiving more. Residents are advised to pay attention to updated alerts and forecasts to stay informed.
Coastal Storm Threat: Nor’easter-Like Conditions Expected
The first strong fall cold front of the year is plunging into the Southeast, sweeping all the way down the Florida Peninsula over the next couple of days. A low-pressure system is likely to develop along the front offshore of the Florida east coast, potentially bringing nor’easter-like conditions to the coast.
By Saturday morning, the coastal storm will be located offshore of the Southeast, pumping gusty winds into the Carolinas. Late Saturday into Sunday, the winds will increase along the northern Outer Banks of North Carolina and across the Tidewater of Virginia, potentially leading to flooding and coastal erosion.
North Atlantic and End of Hurricane Season
The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a non-tropical low in the North Atlantic, which has a slight chance of becoming tropical enough to get a name over the next couple of days. However, it is not a threat to land.
The first October cold front that sweeps the tropical air from the Florida Peninsula marks a significant seasonal change, and it’s possible that it will mean the end of hurricane season for the U.S. and surrounding areas. However, it’s not guaranteed, and residents are advised to stay informed and prepare for any potential impacts.
