Jerry is the tenth named storm so far this hurricane season. The storm is forecast to strengthen over the next couple days and become a hurricane. The latest forecast track moves the storm west-northwest before an eventual turn north this weekend. The current forecast track would keep Jerry 1000+ miles east of Coastal Georgia and the Lowcountry.
