3 Major Storms Loom As Hurricane Jose Moves North | TODAY
In a compelling report from the TODAY Show, three powerful storms, including Hurricane Jose, are currently churning in the Atlantic, with significant implications for the East Coast, particularly New England. As of the current update, Hurricane Jose is moving northward at a speed of 9 miles per hour, maintaining its position offshore while still exerting a considerable influence on coastal weather conditions.
The meteorologist, Al Roker, highlighted that while Jose may not directly impact the eastern seaboard, its wide reach means that the effects will be felt, particularly in states from Rehoboth Beach to Nantucket, where Tropical Storm Watches have been issued. With winds extending as far as 190 miles from its center, New England is bracing for strong gusts and substantial rainfall. Nineteenth-century towns like Nantucket are expected to bear the brunt of this storm during the midweek period.
More alarmingly, Hurricane Maria is on the horizon, presenting a significant threat as a Category 1 storm, currently positioned just 100 miles east of Martinique. The ensuing Hurricane Watches for Puerto Rico underscore the seriousness of the situation, with winds that could reach up to 140 mph forecasted as Maria moves through the Caribbean. The severe potential of this storm is reminiscent of Hurricane Hugo in 1989, which caused widespread devastation in Puerto Rico. As Maria approaches, the island has not experienced a direct hit since 1998, and residents are understandably anxious about the impact of this formidable storm.
This report serves as a crucial reminder of the power of nature and the importance of preparedness as these storms approach.
