There is a low chance of isolated flash floods. Elsewhere, plan for water ponding on roads and in poorly drained areas. .Excessive Heat...This level of heat affects most individuals sensitive to heat, especially those without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) continues monitoring Tropical Storm Jerry, located over the central Atlantic. This system is expected to approach the northeast Caribbean by Friday as a Hurricane. The latest advisory has Jerry as a hurricane with its closest approach being 196 miles NE of St. John on Friday morning. Hazardous marine and coastal conditions are forecast to return on Thursday to Saturday, as Jerry moves east of the region. Heat risks will also possibly continue as Jerry promotes southerly flow through at least early Sunday. Residents and visitors should remain informed and monitor official updates from the National Hurricane Center and our local office as Jerry approaches the Lesser Antilles. Heat risks will also possibly continue. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is encouraged.
