 However , early on September 30 , the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Jerry while curving eastward . Shortly thereafter , vigorous deep convection developed , allowing the storm to deepen further . At 00 : 00 UTC on October 1 , Jerry attained its peak intensity with sustained winds of 50 mph ( 85 km / h ) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1 @,@ 005 mbar ( 29 @.@ 7 inHg ) . However , strong wind shear soon weakened Jerry . Later on October 1 , a blocking high pressure ridge briefly impeded the storm 's northeastward motion , but it resumed moving in that direction by the following day . After losing all deep convection late on October 3 , Jerry became extratropical at about 770 mi ( 1 @,@ 240 km ) southwest of the central Azores . The remnants persisted for a few days , until being absorbed by a larger extratropical low on October 6 .
