ORLANDO, Fla. - Although Tropical Storm Jerry is struggling as it continues to spin across the Atlantic, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) says it still remains on track to strengthen into a hurricane in the coming days. As of late Thursday, Tropical Storm Jerry is located about 100 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands.

However, Florida can expect rough surf and dangerous rip currents along the coast from the combined effects of a nor'easter developing off the east coast and Tropical Storm Jerry, according to Alex DaSilva, AccuWeather lead hurricane expert in an email Oct. 9.

At 5 p.m. Saturday, the National Hurricane Center issued an advisory stating that Tropical Storm Jerry is in the Atlantic Ocean, 460 miles south-southeast of Bermuda. It is moving to the north at 16 mph, with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph.
