Meteorological Analysis
|
Jerry originated from a tropical wave which left the coast of Africa on October
1st. The wave developed some banding as it crossed the ocean but, didn't
really get its act together until October 6th. Convection became more
concentrated that day and the wave became tropical depression 12, about
540 nm ESE of Barbados. The depression moved WNW at a pretty fast speed of
up to 20 kt under the subtropical ridge. This speed would help inhibit
development. The depression strengthened into tropical storm Jerry on the 7th
and reached max winds of 50 mph that day. Jerry then moved just south of
Barbados on the 7th and through the Windward Islands on the 8th. Jerry was
very disorganized at the time and there were multiple vorticity centers. Shear
then began to affect Jerry once in the Caribbean. This combined with Jerry's
fast forward speed to cause Jerry to dissipate on the 8th about 200 nm south of
Puerto Rico. The remnants of Jerry then continued as an open wave.
