Tropical Storm Jose Moves East. Hurricane Maria Batters Puerto Rico…

 

Synopsis:

Tropical Storm Jose is well off the Eastern seaboard and moving Northeast with winds of 65mph as of this writing. Rough surf and dangerous rip currents will continue. The sun will return for most today; the exception being Eastern areas. Clouds bands and even a spotty shower is possible as Jose spins offshore. Winds won’t be as gusty but it’ll still be brisk at the coast.

High pressure will build into the Northeast as the remnants of Jose meander off the coast. Warm, sunny days are expected as we turn the calendar page from Summer to Fall. In fact, it will be Summer-like right into the weekend.

Hurricane Maria is battering Puerto Rico as a powerful category 4. As of this writing winds are at 155mph. Extensive damage unfortunately will occur on the island as the storm moves through. The hurricane will lose a bit of its punch and then reemerge back in the Atlantic.  The track is below.
