Tropical Storm Jerry to Strengthen into Hurricane

>> WELL, THERE ARE NOW 2 NAMED STORMS OUT THERE IN THE ATLANTIC BASIN. AS WE START THIS FRIDAY MORNING. STILL TRACKING JERRY AS IT BRUSHES BY THE LEEWARD ISLANDS HERE THIS MORNING AND THEN WELL IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC, SUBTROPICAL STORM KAREN FORMED YESTERDAY. STAY ON THE NORTH SHOW YOU JUST A MOMENT. NOT GONNA BE AN ISSUE FOR ANYONE WHATSOEVER. HERE’S GERRI LOOKING VERY DISORGANIZED IN THE SATELLITE PRESENTATION HERE THIS MORNING. BUT IT IS PRODUCING A WHOLE LOT OF RAIN OVER THE OUTER EDGES OF THE CARIBBEAN. THIS IS MOVING OFF TO THE NORTH AND WEST AT 17 MILES PER HOUR. SUSTAINED WINDS AS THE 5 O’CLOCK UPDATE DOWN TO 50 SPEAKING TO YES, IT’S LOOKING FAIRLY RUGGED RIGHT NOW IS IT’S BUTTING UP AGAINST A FRONT. THE STORM WILL PULL AWAY FROM THE CARIBBEAN HERE TODAY. TRACK TO THE NORTH, THEN NORTHEAST AND EVEN THE DUE EAST. THIS WILL STAY WELL TO THE EAST. TH U.S. FLORIDA, THE BAHAMAS SAYS RING NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER. ANY LAND AREAS COULD PERHAPS BRUSH BERMUDA AS WE GO INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A LITTLE BIT OF WIND DRIVEN RAIN AND THEN INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC, WE GO. THAT’S WRE WE FIND SUBTROPICAL STORM. KAREN, SOME TRAFFIC OF ALL THAT MEANS THE SPACE, THE HYBRID TYPE STORM, SOMETHING BETWEEN A PURELY TROPICAL SYSTEM AND A NOR’EASTER, A CENTER RIGHT ABOUT THERE. IT CONTINUES TO SPIN ITS WAY OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST. AND THIS WON’T BE AROUND FOR LONG. IT’S GOING TO REVERSE A MUCH COOLER WATERS. THE BATTERED BY SOME WIND SHEAR OVER THE NEXT. 24 48 HOURS LIKELY FALLS APART AS EARLY EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. SO AGAIN, THIS WON’T BE AN IMPACT TO ANYONE WITH KAREN. HERE’S WHERE WE ARE YEARLY SEASONAL CURVE. TRACKING OUT ALL OF THE PLANNING OUT ALL OF THE TROPICAL STORMS AND HURRICANES THAT FORMED LAST 100 YEARS. STILL IN A FAIRLY ACTIVE PORTION OF THE HURRICANE SEASON. SO NO SURPRISE TO SEE THINGS FORMING OUT THERE. BUT GOING FORWARD, WE EXPECT TO SEE ACTIVITY DROPPING OFF ALL THAT BEING SAID HURRICANE SEASON CONTINUES ALL THE WAY THROUGH
