Tropical Storm Jerry Spares U.S. Mainland, Heads for Caribbean
8 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Tropical Storm Jerry spinning in Atlantic, 900 miles from Leeward Islands
- Expected to pass near Caribbean islands as a hurricane, but not impact U.S.
- Potential for heavy rain, gusty winds, and localized flooding in the islands

As of October 8th, 2025, Tropical Storm Jerry is still spinning in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 900 miles from the northern Leeward Islands of the Caribbean. Although the system is expected to strengthen into a hurricane and pass close to several Caribbean islands this week, it will not pose a problem for the U.S. mainland.
A strong cold front diving across the eastern part of the country is forecast to push Jerry out to sea, preventing it from making landfall on the U.S. coast. However, the islands of the northern Leeward chain, including Antigua, Barbuda, Anguilla, and others, are under tropical storm watches as Jerry approaches.
