Hurricane Jerry brushed the northern Leeward Islands in mid-September before petering out just before making it to Bermuda.
Jerry was conceived as a tropical wave that rolled off the western coast of Africa around Sept. 9-10, then rolled across the tropical Atlantic while slowly gathering organization.
By Sept. 17-18, Jerry formed and within a day or two the system became a hurricane.
Jerry peaked with winds of 105 mph, a Category 2, while located well east of Antigua and Barbuda.
From there, Jerry slowly lost steam and eventually transitioned to a storm that was structured like a sub-tropical system as Jerry neared Bermuda. Bands of rain preceded Jerry's naked swirl and gusty winds before the system became post-tropical on Sept. 25.
Only light impacts were note in Bermuda as Jerry approached, in large contrast to Hurricane Humberto a week later, which tore through the Island with strong winds and heavy rain.
