Tropical Storm Jerry Weakens as Nor'easter Threatens East Coast

As of October 10th, 2025, Tropical Storm Jerry is no longer forecast to become a hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm is moving away from land and its intensity has "flatlined," forecasters say. Meanwhile, the U.S. East Coast is on alert for a potentially powerful nor'easter that is expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and prolonged coastal flooding over the weekend and into early next week.

Forecasters warn that parts of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast could see several inches of rain, significant beach erosion, and prolonged coastal flooding from this storm. The nor'easter has the potential to strengthen into a tropical or subtropical storm as it moves over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream.

The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has been quite unique so far, with no hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. through the month of September. This marks the first time since 2015 that a hurricane has not made landfall by this point in the season. Experts say the Atlantic has seen several close calls, with major hurricanes like Erin and Humberto staying offshore. The only named storm to make landfall in 2025 was Tropical Storm Chantal, which caused flooding in North Carolina in July.
