Weather officials have upgraded Barbuda\u2019s Tropical Storm Watch to a Tropical Storm Warning<\/strong> as Tropical Storm Jerry\u2019s forecast track shifts slightly westward, bringing the system closer to the island than previously expected.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The warning, effective as of 11 a.m. Thursday<\/strong>, means sustained tropical-storm-force winds are expected within 12 to 18 hours<\/strong>. Residents are urged to complete all storm preparations immediately and brace for deteriorating conditions later today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Tropical Storm Watch<\/strong> remains in effect for Antigua and the rest of the Leeward Islands<\/strong>, where tropical storm conditions are still possible if Jerry\u2019s path continues to shift southward.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Forecasters say the system\u2019s change in trajectory increases the likelihood of heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and rough seas across the northern Leewards. Residents are advised to stay tuned to official updates from the Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service<\/strong> and NODS<\/strong> as the situation develops.<\/p>
