Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh said Jerry is forecast to be just east and northeast of the Caribbean by Thursday/Friday while veering more northward with time, thanks to the rather far east positioning of the Bermuda High and a strong upper-level trough headed for the Eastern U.S./far West Atlantic.
