HURRICANE Jose Lounge
      #98039 - Thu Aug 31 2017 02:00 PM



A potent-looking tropical wave has just exited western Africa and is already showing some signs of wanting to slowly develop, although conditions are not favorable in the near-term. However, late this weekend into next week conditions could become favorable, with NHC odds of 20% over the next 5 days:

Quote:

1. A tropical wave along the west coast of Africa is moving westward at about 15 mph. Environmental conditions could become more conducive for some development over the weekend while the system moves well south and southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.




This is where to put mid to long range thoughts on this feature's potential for development, intensity, and forecast track. Longer range model output discussions are appropriate here.

This wave is not yet Invest tagged. The title will be updated as warranted. 9/4 - This E Atlantic Wave has been tagged 94L and the title has been updated

Edit: 94L is now Tropical Storm Jose and the title has been updated

As of 5:00 PM AST Wed Sep 6, Jose has been upgraded to Hurricane
Location: 13.9°N 45.8°W
Moving: WNW at 16 mph
Min pressure: 994 mb
Max sustained: 75 mph

60% at 5 days. Though the models are making it out to be a fish spinner.

REALLY not liking the 00Z Euro today, which shows Jose looping around and bringing it back through the Bahamas and toward Florida.

Latest run of ECMWF shows a plausible scenario. In summary, it has Jose drawn up behind much larger Irma heading NW out from the southern Bahamas by late Monday Sep 11, then quickly looped back around by the squeeze play between Irma to Jose's NW - a diving offshore, large, non-tropical low out of Newfoundland - to be then slingshotted back W by the rebuilding Bermuda High, heading right for S Florida as a major at the end of this run (0Z Sep 17).

Believable - and especially noteworthy coming from a model like the Euro. Worth keeping watch for consistency in future runs and if other models start to buy in.

Recon flew into Jose for the first time today and found the center to be a little south of prior estimates. Additionally, winds were also stronger than satellite derived estimates, and Jose is now a 150 MPH high-end Cat 4. There were some SFMR returns suggestive of Cat 5, but they may have been contaminated. Either way, Jose is now a very powerful and compact high-end Major, with a track that puts some of the very same islands just hit by Irma at risk again. Recon vort:

Such as St. Maarten & Barbuda I think right? Those poor people. I would imagine they are without power...how are they to know what may be coming?? Where are they going to shelter?

Something to keep an eye on for late next week - ECMWF UKMET and NAVY all now loop Jose back around towards the southeast or east coast by next weekend.

Ongoing recon missions should help sort this out soon.

12z GFS joins UKMET, ECMWF and NAVGEM in looping Jose back towards the states, with this run of the GFS 10 days (240 hours) out
tossing a Cat 3/4 Jose across the warm New York-New Jersey Bight en route to landfall around western Long Island.

12z Sep 9 ECMWF even more bought-in on the loop back towards the states, taking Jose at Cat 2/3 up the Gulf Stream, clipping the OBX on Day 9 en route to this position on Day 10 (240 Hours out from Initialization).

Although Irma remains a viable Tropical Storm, now impacting the FL Panhandle, I have turned my attention on Jose. The forecast tracks on Jose are bizarre, literally all over the map. As it presents the prospect of a U.S. or even Canadian landfall, I am most interesting in analysis regarding Jose.

On a separate note, my family and friends in FL have been fortunate, thus far. It appears that, with the exception of debris and lost electricity, everyone is safe and well. One exception is my brother -- whom I believe to be alright, but who is a firefighter-paramedic on Marco Island. I remain concerned for his welfare during the aftermath of Irma. I hope everyone else on this Forum and impacted by Irma is doing alright.

The latest GFS, CMC, and Euro all take Jose out to sea, which is a slight shift west), I'd feel good about that except the UKmet, which saw the trends early with Irma (and matthew for that matter) takes it into Florida. I'd feel better if that was aligned also, but Jose is worth watching for the east coast as well.

Mesoscale guidance does not indicate a a high probability of interaction with the southeast coast of the U.S.

This storm simply does not go away. Present models have it returning to hurricane status far more north than anticipated for this time of year. Issue of concern: waters are warmer than they have been in previous decades.

UKMET eventually went well east with the other models, GFS and euro show no landfall currently, closest approaches are to Hatteras (But well east, Cape Cod, but well East, and Nova Scotia, again well east) Enough for rough surf along the coast, but that's about it. It should be still watched to see if it veers any west. Interestingly the ultra long range has Jose moving back from 43N (Novia Scotia latitude, all the way south in the Atlantic to 31N Latitude (Georgia) maintaining itself the entire time.

12Z GFS and Ukment have a slight shift west, getting very close to the outer banks and later long island/ri/cape cod, but no direct landfall.

Well, the 00Z GFS has shifted west and bring it over long island and Rhode Island around 120 - 132 hours out. Then loop it around to bring it in as a weak Tropical storm or depression around hour 200. long ways out, but that was a bit of an eyebrow raiser. Be interesting to see what the other models do overnight as well as the 12Z models.

0z euro loops it offshore of long island then landfalls into New Jersey late Saturday Sept 23rd, as a Tropical Storm, close enough to cause a lot of flooding/surge issues.

CMC moves it over Cape Cod as a cat 1 hurricane, late Tuesday.

NavGem cat 1/2 over east central New Jersey Wednesday morning.

UKMet keeps it offshore.

6Z GFS Clips Cape Cod/Nantucket, then clips Nova Scotia and St.Pierra Newfoundland, but no direct landfalls this time.

The size of the storm at that time will matter a lot as far as impacts.
