MIAMI, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Tropical Storm Jerry picked up speed as it meandered out in the Atlantic Ocean Tuesday, settling on a northeasterly track as night fell, U.S. forecasters said.
After sitting still Tuesday, Jerry started out slowly in a westerly direction early Wednesday, then stalled again in late morning before shifting to the northeast and amping up its forward speed to 7 mph at 5 p.m., the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
