NJwx85 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The Euro might be further East, but it's still not going to be a quick turn OTS. If anything, it looks basically stalled East of OBX on Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 This trough is either going to help steer Jose out at the last minute, or it's going to lift out, the ridge is going to build to the North and Jose is going to move Westward.

SnoSki14 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The blocking isn't strong enough to force Jose further west like Sandy. There's still several days left so things could change a bit but don't see this as being more than a maritime threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwx85 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The difference with the Euro is the amplitude of the trough. The less amplified trough into the West coast led to a less amplified trough over SE Canada and thus Jose was pushed up and out rather than up and in.

olafminesaw Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Most are either landfalls or pretty far from land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 High pressure over New Foundland may not be strong enough to block or force landfall, but given the potential size of Irma through days 4-7, such a setup would create a strong pressure gradient over coastal Mid-Atlantic and New England. The wave action could be quite strong and a big threat to shipping lanes and the fishing industry. Jose may remain a big slow moving nuisance north of 35 for days.

RevWarReenactor Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The GFS track reminds me of Edouard from 96. Being on the jersey shore for that one, it was a dud, few clouds, I remember going to the beach and the sea was rough and the tide was a bit high, but overall, nothing to really write home about. I think Cape Cod felt it a bit more. So if anyone thinks a grazer 150 miles out to sea delivers, it really doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The wave pattern of Atlantic tropics is such a consistent variable. A storm like Jose seems more likely after Irma/Harvey by a multiple of 5. There is probably a name for this index. I think the NHC track is good. The storm will probably not make landfall.

donsutherland1 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 At 5 pm, Tropical Storm Jose was located at 25.2°N, 67.3°W. Over the past 18 hours, it had tracked approximately 130 kilometers to the west. At present, Jose is beginning to add a northerly component to its motion. Overall, the overall weight of the guidance argues against U.S. landfall. A few more ECMWF ensemble members suggest landfall, but most don't. In terms of historic climatology, 25% of the August-September storms passing within 100 nautical miles of Jose's 5 pm position (1851-present) made U.S. landfall. That is somewhat higher than the 18% figure last night at 11 pm. One should reasonably have expected such an increased probability on account of Jose's closer proximity to the U.S. The increase is not sufficiently great to warrant much change in thinking, especially in light of the 12z guidance. The probability of landfall in Canada remained greater than that for the United States. Newfoundland and Labrador remained about twice as likely to see landfall as Nova Scotia. Landfall in Canada was still somewhat lower than the prospect of Jose's not making any landfall. So, at least for now, increasingly large swells and strong rip currents will likely be Jose's principal effects along much of the East Coast. The storm's strongest winds and rain will likely remain offshore based on the current guidance, though its wind field could expand should it undergo post-tropical transition as it heads northward offshore next week.

Don, the center doesn't need to come ashore in order for this to be a damaging storm for the beaches. I think the probability of significant erosion and coastal flooding is increasing.

Also the surge was close to 10 ft here in western Long Island and up to 17-20 feet in NYC, that's a much higher surge than one would expect with those winds.

Holly/Philadelphia office regarding marine conditions in the NJ/DE area: .MARINE... No marine headlines through Thursday. Patchy fog possible tonight. Otherwise, leftover showers should end this evening. Long period 3-4 foot se swells continue on the Atlantic waters.OUTLOOK... Thursday night-Friday night...Generally sub Small Craft Advisory conditions expected. Seas forecast to be 3-4 feet. Saturday-Monday...Conditions may reach Small Craft Advisory levels as seas may build to 5 feet. Sct afternoon showers. Rip Currents... This evening...Moderate except added HIGH risk of RC to 3 NJ counties for the remainder of this afternoon...our calculator has no more than moderate risk but a report of lifeguard concern prompted the issuance. Thursday: Moderate risk for the formation of dangerous rip currents. Long- period (10-14 sec) southeasterly swells fromHurricane Jose continue. Looking ahead...a low or moderate risk is expected Friday then larger longer period swells from tropical cyclone Jose should arrives this weekend and we expect moderate or high risk days from Saturday through at least next Tuesday with swells building to 5 to 6 feet and period lengthening to near 15 seconds. Even surfers can suffer injury from wave slam and certainly swimmers are asked to follow lifeguard and other official advice... and in my opinion...in these upcoming conditions its not worth the risk. The link to the full discussion is here if you're interested. I hope you get to go and that you have a great time! Thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
