Hurricane Jose is continuing its leisurely loop over the waters a few hundred miles north of Puerto Rico, and is not expected to threaten any land areas this week. The latest computer models now say that Jose may be with us a very long time--at least another week. Jose may be a landfall threat next week for the U.S. East Coast or Canada, but that is too far in the future to make a reliable forecast. Bermuda is near the edge of Jose’s 5-day cone of uncertainty, and residents of that island should monitor the storm.

Jose is under high wind shear of 20 - 30 knots, and high shear is expected to affect Jose all week, keeping it a Category 1 hurricane or tropical storm. Satellite images on Wednesday morning showed that Jose still had plenty of intense heavy thunderstorm activity, but the storm was misshapen and asymmetrical due to the high wind shear. Passage over its own cold wake in the ocean may be able to weaken Jose to a tropical storm by Friday. After crossing its cold wake, Jose will be over very warm waters with sea surface temperatures (SSTs) near 29.5°C (85°F). These warm waters extend all the way to the coast of North Carolina.
Yeah.
I know.
But there’s a world of difference between real, actual meteorology and all that globull warming/cooling/climate change crap.
Is there any ‘ology’ that hasn’t been infiltrated and infested by the openly delusional? Look what has happened to human physiology!
Arrg. :(
Jose is will wander the US border until he finds an opening to sneak in.
Probably NYC.
Jose is just an undocumented storm.
Indeed. Particularly when it is circulating over open water
That’s a big blob o’ weather over there.
Have you never paid attention to hurricane season beforehand?
No. I’m just a dumbass ‘cane groupie with nothing to add to this group.
Oy. This has already been too much of a hurricane season. I’m just glad that we don’t live in Florida. Our brother in law in Bradenton still has no power at his home.
Horrible! Hope he gets it soon!
Great to “see” you again - it’s been a while!
It is - that thunderstorm over Nigeria/Mali worries me.
BTW, I still glance at times at your 2005 Katrina multiple FR forums. Such a lesson in life and humanity - sad times indeed! Hope you’re well!
Thanks, Silvie. It’s great to see you too!
Hope you are well. We are recovering from Irmageddon. All creature comforts have been restored, yard cleaned, fridge and freezers emptied and scrubbed. Last project is getting the green out of the pool after days without being able to run the pump.
When do they expect Hose B?
No reason to be snarky
The frenzied and breathless nonsense that has been posted about various storms generated that question.
It is as if all of a sudden no one remembers any storm season at all
And... there's another "Potential Tropical Cyclone" starting to make its way through some of the Caribbean islands that were hit by Irma...
The hypocrisy is clear to see for all us *deniers*.
Been semi-out-of-pocket the last few days, checked in now from a hotel in Los Alamos, NM. Gotta check the radar, I think Jose is less of a threat than the two Cape Verde systems in the Atlantic.
