Tropical Storm Jerry Weakens as Nor'easter Floods Florida
11 Oct
Summary
- Tropical Storm Jerry no longer expected to strengthen into a hurricane
- Heavy rains and flooding from a nor'easter impact Florida's east coast
- Swells from Jerry threaten Leeward and Windward Islands with dangerous surf
On October 11, 2025, the National Hurricane Center reported that Tropical Storm Jerry is no longer expected to strengthen into a hurricane. Jerry's winds have reached 60 mph, well short of the 74 mph threshold for hurricane status. The storm is forecast to turn northward and then northeast, staying away from Florida and the U.S. east coast.
While Jerry is not a direct threat, the east coast of Florida is experiencing significant flooding from a separate weather system. Heavy rains on Thursday and Friday have led to flood waters on roads and in some homes and businesses in areas including Edgewater, Brevard County, parts of the Treasure Coast, and Jupiter. The nor'easter is expected to continue bringing wet conditions to the region on Saturday before pulling away to the north.
Additionally, the swells generated by Tropical Storm Jerry are affecting the Leeward Islands, Windward Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions in the coming days.
