![]() ![]() NHC said this general motion is expected to continue through today with a turn to the northeast anticipated tonight. Jose is moving toward the north near 9 mph (15 kph). That's about 235 miles (380 km) east-northeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and 350 miles (560 km) south-southwest of Nantucket, Mass. ![]() EDT (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Jose was located by an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft near 36.3 degrees north latitude and 71.6 degrees west longitude. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted that hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 310 miles (500 km).Ī ship located more than 200 miles southwest of the center of Jose recently reported a sustained wind of 40 mph (65 kph), and NOAA Buoy 44014, located east of the Virginia-North Carolina border or about 160 miles west of the center, also reported a sustained wind of 40 mph (65 kph).Īt 8 a.m. The GOES East satellite imagery shows that Jose is a large tropical cyclone. ![]() ![]() The animation shows Hurricane Jose slowly moving north over two days while remaining over 200 miles off shore from the Carolinas. GPM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency JAXA.Īt NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, the NASA/NOAA GOES Project created an animation of NOAA's GOES East satellite imagery from Sept. Within this convective band there are still areas of very heavy rain on the order of 75 mm/hr (~3 inches per hour). To create a total picture of Jose and its rainfall locations, GPM's GMI and DPR instruments provided rainfall data that was overlaid on enhanced infrared imagery from the GOES-East satellite that showed the clouds of the storm.Īlthough Jose was still a hurricane with maximum sustained winds reported near 90 mph by Hurricane Hunters, GPM reveals that Jose is rather asymmetric with most of the rain located north of the center as a result of strong southwesterly wind shear. 17) as the storm was moving due north at 9 mph well off shore from the coast of North Carolina. The Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM core satellite captured an image of Jose overnight at 3:36 UTC on Sept. 16, Jose turned northward as it moved around the western edge of a ridge of high pressure near Bermuda and began to parallel the U.S. At this time, Jose was still only midway between the central Bahamas and Bermuda, having just completed its loop, and moving to the northwest. 15 as wind shear across the storm diminished. Remaining over warm water allowed Jose to strengthen back into a hurricane on Sept. During this time, Jose continued to weaken down to tropical storm intensity. Jose then made a counterclockwise loop about midway between the southern Bahamas and Bermuda. Jose passed northeast of the Leeward Islands as a category 4 storm on a northwest track and then began to weaken due to the effects of northerly wind shear. to Watch Hill, Rhode Island.Īt one time, Jose was a powerful category 4 border line category 5 storm with maximum sustained winds at 155 mph as reported by the National Hurricane Center on September 9 as it was approaching the northern Leeward Islands. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Watch Hill, North Carolina to Hull, Block Island, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.Ī Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the coast of Long Island from Fire Island Inlet to Port Jefferson and from New Haven, Conn. 19 that Jose is expected to produce dangerous surf and rip currents along the East coast of the United States for several more days. The National Hurricane Center noted on Sept. NASA's GPM satellite and NOAA's GOES East satellites have provided a look at the rainfall and movement of this long-lived storm. East Coast east of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Jose has been a named storm for nearly two weeks now as it continues to slowly move northward off the U.S. Heaviest rain at 75 mm/hr (~3 inches per hour) appear in magenta. Jose is asymmetric, and most rain is located north of the center. Rain rates derived from the GPM's GMI (outer swath) and DPR (inner swath) overlaid were on enhanced infrared data from NOAA's GOES-East satellite. EDT) well off shore from the coast of North Carolina. Image: GPM captured this image of Jose overnight on Sept. ![]()
