Hurricane Jose Spins North, With East Coast Watching Warily.
'The storm Jose reclaimed its hurricane classification as it spun over the Atlantic Ocean on Friday, a day after it had been downgraded to a tropical storm.
People in coastal areas from North Carolina to New England “should monitor the progress of this system,” the National Hurricane Center said in its latest public advisory, adding that parts of North Carolina might be placed on a tropical storm watch on Saturday.
The storm follows on the heels of Hurricanes Harvey, which brought catastrophic flooding to Texas, and Irma, which destroyed communities in the Caribbean and led to flooding and power failures in Florida.
But this hurricane does not appear to pose the same kind of risk. “Jose does not show any signs of the rapid intensification that both Harvey and Irma underwent,” Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the center, said in an email on Friday evening.'>>>
