Jacksonville, FL — Jerry has strengthened to a category one hurricane as it moves through the central Atlantic. It is the tenth named storm in the 2019 Atlantic hurricane season. The First Alert Weather Team says Jerry will be pulled north this weekend and stay several hundred miles east of Jacksonville.

Jerry will have to battle some shear by late week so the tropical cyclone may become mostly steady state into the weekend. Though uncomfortably close by Friday and into the weekend to Puerto Rico, present indications are that Jerry will be north of the Greater Antilles.
