ALSO A SIGNAL. THIS IS GETTING BETTER ORGANIZED AS IT’S MOVING VERY RAPIDLY TO THE WEST AT 23MPH. RIGHT NOW, THE LOCATION ABOUT 1200 MILES EAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND VERY FAR AWAY FROM US.

IT IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN NOW TO A CATEGORY ONE STORM BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO A LITTLE BIT EARLIER NOW AS IT’S REALLY GOING TO TAP INTO THOSE EXTREMELY WARM WATERS THERE OF THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. AND THEN AS WE GO INTO LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON, IT IS EXPECTED TO NOW BECOME A CATEGORY TWO HURRICANE. THAT IS A CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY WHERE IT KEPT IT AT CATEGORY ONE STRENGTH. BUT NOTICE IT IS EXPECTED TO BE A VERY STRONG CAT ONE HURRICANE AS IT’S NEARING THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS. AND THEN BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AS IT DOES STRENGTHEN TO A CAT TWO, IT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE THAT SHARPER CURVE AWAY FROM THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. HENCE, THIS IS WHY WE ARE NOT EXPECTING ANY DIRECT IMPACTS IN TERMS OF JERRY. ALSO NEW WITH THE 5:00 ADVISORY, WE NOW HAVE TROPICAL STORM WATCHES UP FOR SOME OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS AS WE CONTINUE TO WATCH THIS SYSTEM, EXPECTED TO BRING SOME HEAVY RAIN THERE. WE’RE ALSO TRACKING ANOTHER AREA OF INTEREST. THIS ONE’S A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO HOME. I’LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT. AND WHEN WE COULD SEE A POTENT
