Monday Tropical Update: Jose Flirts With Coast, Maria Needs to Be Watched

Good morning.  The tropics continue to be active and we will be dealing with some effects from Hurricane Jose Tuesday and Wednesday. The storm will stay offshore but some rain will make it inland and winds should pick up, especially along coastal areas.

The National hurricane center shows the expected track......

By tomorrow afternoon you can see some outer rain bands trying to make it inland...

Winds will start to pick up by Tuesday night near coastal areas as the storm passes to the east of the Cape. Expect gusts up to 50 mph along the coast maybe locally higher for areas on the Cape. 

The most rain and wind overall will be eastern New England....

This all clears out by Wednesday night letting us then focus on the next more powerful hurricane (could develop to Cat 4) Maria...

Model guidance show a potential track that can effect the East coast next week...

With an area of high pressure to its north, this needs to be watched closely as it can cause the storm to not curve out to sea...

Looks like we will have a lot to keep us busy over the next week.

Thanks for checking in.
