Discussion

Hurricane Jose (category 1) will impact the coastline today and tonight from New Jersey to southern New England with bands of rain, rough surf, gusty winds and possible coastal flooding at time of high tide. Jose will stay off the coast and push farther away from the Northeast US coastline over the next couple of days, but ultimately, may make a move back towards the east coast. Meanwhile, Hurricane Maria has strengthened to category 5 "major" status and is headed right towards the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. It is likely to make landfall in Puerto Rico on Wednesday - perhaps as a category 4 "major" hurricane. After that, Maria will likely turn northward and slide to the east of the Bahama Island chain. It is possible that the remnants of Jose actually provide an atmospheric "escape route" for Maria so that it never reaches the US coastline - let's hope so.
