TROPICAL CYCLONE UPDATE 18Z MODEL RUN 0344 PM EDT

STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALONG THE EAST COAST SHOULD KEEP JOSE FROM GETTING CLOSER LAND.  HOWEVER, STRONG WINDS CAN MAKE FOR HEAVY SURF ALONG THE EASTERN SEA BOARD.  COASTAL FLOODING IN HIGH TIDE ALSO POSSIBLE...RTW


SCENARIO#1 TROPICAL DEPRESSION 15 BARES WATCHING IF YOU LIVE IN THE LESSER ANTILLES, BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS, PUERTO RICO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, GREATER ANTILLES AND FLORIDA.  THERE IS SUPPOSE TO BE A WEAKNESS IN THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE THAT JOSE WILL SUPPOSEDLY LEAVE BEHIND ITS WAKE.  IF THAT WERE THE CASE THEN TD 15 WILL MOVE INTO THIS WEAKNESS AND TRACK NORTH WAY FROM THE U.S. EAST COAST.  HOWEVER, THE LESSER ANTILLES PUERTO RICO WOULD BE IN THE PATH OF THIS STORM SYSTEM BEFORE THAT TURN WOULD OCCUR.

SCENARIO #2 IF THE HIGH OVER THE ATLANTIC WERE TO BUILD WEST OVER THE CYCLONE THEN THE TRACK WOULD BE WEST TO A WEST NORTHWEST AND A POSSIBLE THREAT FOR THE GREATER ANTILLES AND FLORIDA.  I DON'T WANT YOU TO PANIC BUT CONTINUE TO MONITOR CLOSELY AND REPLENISH ANY SUPPLIES YOU MAY HAVE USED AFTER IRMA...RTW


AS FOR TROPICAL STORM LEE OVER THE EASTERN ATLANTIC THIS SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD STAY OUT OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL ATLANTIC BUT THE LATEST MODEL SUGGEST A MORE WEST-NORTHWEST TRACK.  I WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THIS ONE AS WELL...RTW


STORM INVESTIGATION 97L 12:00 AM EDT SEPT 16, 2017

STORM INVESTIGATION CONTINUES TO SHOW SIGNS OF DEVELOPMENT COULD BECOME A DEPRESSION OR TROPICAL STORM DURING A DAY OR TWO.

PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 305 DEGREES AT 9 MPH...15 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...983 MB...29.03 INCHES


WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

Interests from North Carolina northward to New England on the east
coast of the United States should monitor the progress of this
system.  A Tropical Storm Watch may be needed for a portion of the
coast of North Carolina on Saturday.


DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 1100 PM EDT (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Jose was located
near latitude 27.4 North, longitude 71.0 West. Jose is moving toward
the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h).  A gradual turn toward the north
is expected over the next couple of days.

The estimated maximum sustained winds have increased to near 80 mph
(130 km/h) with higher gusts.  Additional strengthening is expected
this weekend.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles
(240 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 983 mb (29.03 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Jose are affecting Bermuda, the Bahamas,
the northern coasts of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, and the southeast
coast of the United States, and will spread northward along the
Mid-Atlantic coast of the U.S. during the next few days.  These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions.  For more information, please consult products from your
local weather office.
