A Tropical Storm Watch is now in effect for Montserrat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical-storm or developing tropical-storm conditions pose a possible threat to the specified area within 48 hours. Residents should begin to implement their hurricane preparedness plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 11:00 PM ECT (0300 UTC), the centre of Tropical Storm Jerry was located near latitude 12.8\u00b0 North, longitude 48.7\u00b0 West, or about 1,030 miles (1,655 km) east-southeast of the northern Leeward Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jerry is moving toward the west-northwest near 23 mph (37 km\/h). A decrease in forward speed and a turn toward the west-northwest are expected over the next couple of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maximum sustained winds are 50 mph (85 km\/h), with higher gusts. Little change in intensity is forecast tonight, but gradual strengthening is possible, and Jerry may become a hurricane within the next day or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km) from the centre.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on the latest observations and analysis, Jerry is projected to pass over or very near to the northern Leeward Islands late Thursday into Friday, possibly as a hurricane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jerry will be monitored closely, and information on potential impacts will be communicated as the system moves closer to the islands over the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
?? All residents are urged to monitor the movement of Jerry closely and take action to protect life and property.
A Tropical Storm Warning is likely within the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
