Discussion
Tropical Storm Jose will move farther away from the coast today in a northeastward direction and it should continue to slowly weaken. It will, however, tend to reach a block in the upper atmosphere and be forced to take a loop in a few days back towards the Northeast US coastline. Eventually, the remains of Jose will interact with Hurricane Maria and it'll play an important role in Maria's ultimate track. Hurricane Maria is now slamming Puerto Rico as a major (category 4) storm with max sustained winds at 140 mph. Maria will weaken after crossing Puerto Rico and will then take a turn to the north moving just east of the Bahama Island chain. Around here, high pressure will control our weather for the next several days and we'll enjoy a long stretch of warm and dry weather.
