Hurricane Jose
https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/tropical-storm-hurricane-jose-forecast-atlantic-us-east-coast
Jose, a Category 1 hurricane in the western Atlantic, will produce dangerous high surf and rip currents as it nears the Eastern Seaboard in the upcoming week. Winds as high as tropical storm force are possible from North Carolina northward...
At this time, the majority of forecast guidance still shows Jose curling north, then northeast sufficiently to the east of the U.S. East Coast to avoid direct inland impacts.
This is a very slow moving storm as it drift up the NE coast. As it moves North-eastward expect this storm to move back to Tropical Storm status. As of right now, projections has this storm grazing the eastern islands of Ma. The European and American model differ on the long term forecast of this storm.
