Jerry has been facing challenges this morning due to dry air and northwesterly wind shear. Visible satellite imagery shows the center of circulation ahead of the thunderstorms, which are being hindered by the wind shear. Current conditions in front of Jerry are not looking promising. Forecasts indicate that Jerry could strengthen into a hurricane. A visible satellite image from yesterday displayed a favorable outflow and inflow in Jerry's cloud structure. However, today, the northwest quadrant of Jerry is experiencing a shortage of thunderstorms due to the intrusion of dry air and upper-level shear affecting the cloud structure. Most models predict that Jerry will track close to the Northern Leeward Islands, which is currently under a tropical storm watch. It is important to continue monitoring the latest updates on Jerry from the NHC.
