On the heels of Hurricane Irma, which reached Category 5 strength on Tuesday morning, Sept. 5, Tropical Jose formed.
Tropical Storm Jose, the Atlantic 2017 season’s 10th named storm, has winds of 40 mph, and was moving west-northwest at 13 mph, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
It’s located some 1,500 miles east of the Lesser Antilles in the far-eastern Caribbean Sea.
“Jose,” the Center said, “should move toward the west or west-northwest for the next three to four days at a slightly faster rate of forward speed as it moves south of the deep-layer Azores-Bermuda high.”
“In about four to five days, Jose should turn toward the northwest and slow,” according to the NHC.
