Tropical Depression Jerry


Jerry, the tenth named storm of the season, continues to move very slowly in the central Atlantic Ocean 
well away from land. The system weakened to a tropical depression Wednesday night.
Jerry is not expected to strengthen appreciably and has begun its track toward the northeast. Jerry, or its post-tropical remnant low, may reach the Azores this weekend with some showers and wind gusts but should otherwise be of little impact. 
Jerry is no threat to the United States or any other land areas.
Below we have maps with additional information on Jerry.

How does the system look on satellite imagery. Click on "infrared" satellite imagery, to see how "cold" the cloud tops are. Brighter orange and red shadings concentrated near the center of circulation signify a healthy tropical cyclone.
