Hurricane Jose, which is taking more of a northerly track, Hurricane Katia, which slammed into Mexico's east coast, and of course Hurricane Irma which made its USA landfall in Florida.
Jose, now a Category 2 hurricane, is churning hundreds of miles northeast of the Turks and Caicos. Meanwhile, a tropical wave over the east Atlantic only has a 10% chance of developing into a tropical cyclone during the next five days. Irma's ultimate path and eventual decay could play an important role in determining where Jose ends up.
AccuWeather reports that there are "several paths" Jose can take by the third week of September, including impacting the mid-Atlantic, New England, or Atlantic Canada.
The hurricane is now a Category 1 storm as it makes a loop in the Atlantic off the Florida coastline. Whether it impacts our forecast is still uncertain.
However, according to the Weather Underground, long-range weather models suggest that the high-pressure area will then force the hurricane to move west-northwest toward the east coast.
Models show a wide range of possibilities, all the way from SC to Newfoundland, or even out to sea.
Jose's current motion would eventually allow the storm to curve out to sea in a solution most models were showing just a few days ago.
As of 11:00 a.m. this morning, the National Hurricane Center placed Jose at 305 miles northeast of the Turks and Caicos Islands, moving northward at 9 mph.
