![]() Tropical cyclones include depressions, storms and hurricanes. Below is a track of the storm, created by the National Hurricane Center. After dropping back to tropical storm strength that evening, the cyclone became a nontropical low on the morning on the 25th before merging with a larger mid-latitude low. was considered unlikely, it is possible Jose could get close enough to throw clouds, rain and gusty winds as far west as the immediate Mid-Atlantic and southern New England coasts. The most likely impact from Jose will be rough currents and beach erosion along much of the nation's Atlantic coastline, Duffey said. The National Hurricane Center's Tropical Cyclone Reports contain comprehensive information on each tropical cyclone, including synoptic history, meteorological statistics, casualties and damages, and the post-analysis best track (six-hourly positions and intensities). more uniform with height, and Jose briefly regained hurricane strength on the 24th. Bermuda might get gusty winds and heavy rains.Īlthough landfall in the U.S. The storm was located about 435 miles south of Bermuda and more than 700 miles east of Florida.ĪccuWeather forecasts Jose to fluctuate between a minimal hurricane and tropical storm over the next several days. On Tuesday morning, Jose was barely a hurricane at all, driving winds of 75 mph and not forecast to grow much stronger. "It's been looping around, and that is when things start to get really tricky."ĭuffey said, however, that only 10%-20% of the models show Jose reaching the East Coast, and almost all of those involve areas between South Carolina and Canada. "We are not feeling too confident on where it goes," Duffey said.

Remnants of Irma, though weak, likely will gently nudge Jose away from the U.S. The National Weather Service said Wednesday that Jose was moving toward the southeast but was expected to make a slow clockwise loop, moving west- northwestward by late Thursday.ĪccuWeather meteorologist Evan Duffey said Jose was moving in a slow loop because there were no strong systems in the area driving it in any direction. on Wednesday, taking an odd, looping path that was not expected to impact areas of Florida or Texas battered by the devastating one-two punch of hurricanes Harvey and Irma.Īt least, meteorologists don't think it will. Hurricane Jose is making a looping path in the western Atlantic Ocean this week, and its now unlikely Jose will ever become a threat to the U.S. Hurricane Jose was the tenth named storm, fifth hurricane, and third major hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season and was the longest-lived hurrican. Jose is moving toward the west-northwest near 17 mph (28 km/h) and this general motion is expected to continue over the next couple of days. I have included the GOES-16 Air Mass RGB and 7.3 µm low-level water vapor animations below so you can get a better feel of the overall pattern.Hurricane Jose was slowly marching toward the U.S. moves east/northeast and the central Atlantic TUTT remains stationary, Irma gets left behind in the southeast U.S., but weakening after landfall, while Jose gets left behind and may perform a tight anticyclonic loop before “possibly” moving northwest. Since the current trough over the northeast U.S. Finally, Jose (east of the Lesser Antilles) will be pulled north through a weakness in the ridge due a weakness created by the Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough (TUTT in the yellow “T”) to the northeast and Irma’s broad circulation. This disturbance will close off over the Tennessee Valley area and help to pull Hurricane Irma north, then northwestward in the next 48 hours. Katia has made landfall as it was pushed southwest due to the old cold frontal boundary (responsible for the cool air in most of the country) along with a disturbance highlighted in the yellow circle. The GOES-16 Air Mass RGB image (courtesy of NASA SPoRT) above with my crude drawings show a rough idea of the players affecting the steering flow around the three hurricanes. *Preliminary, Non-Operational Data* Click here to open in a new window.
