00:11Now, good news for us here in the U.S., we are not talking about any impacts from Jerry.

00:15You'll notice with the eyepath, we're even staying east of Bermuda.

00:19This is going to be pulling barely north of the Leeward Islands.

00:22Now, it's going to be a close enough pass that some of us will see an inch or two of rain in St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix.

00:28And then the British Virgin Islands, two to four inches of rain coming your way.

00:32Something to stay up to date on. Some stronger wind gusts here as well.

00:3640 to 60 miles per hour, and 60 is that AccuWeather local storm max.

00:40And our AccuWeather real impact scale rating for hurricanes less than one for this one.
