DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 200 AM EDT (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Jose was located
near latitude 35.6 North, longitude 71.3 West.  Jose is moving
toward the north near 8 mph (13 km/h).  This general motion is
expected to continue through today with a turn to the northeast
anticipated tonight.  On the forecast track, the center of Jose is
forecast to pass well offshore of the Delmarva peninsula later
today, and pass well to the east of the New Jersey coast on
Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Little change in strength is expected today but Jose
should begin to gradually weaken on Wednesday.

Jose is a large tropical cyclone.  Hurricane-force winds extend
outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical-storm-
force winds extend outward up to 310 miles (500 km), primarily to
the northeast of the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure based on Air Force Hurricane
Hunter data is 971 mb (28.67 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin in the
warning area early Wednesday.  Tropical storm conditions are
possible in the watch area beginning tonight.

SURF:  Swells generated by Jose are affecting Bermuda, the Bahamas,
and much of the U.S. east coast.  These swells are likely to cause
dangerous surf and rip current conditions for the next several
days in these areas.  For more information, please consult products
from your local weather office.

RAINFALL:  Jose is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 3
to 5 inches over eastern Long Island, southeast Connecticut,
southern Rhode Island, and southeast Massachusetts, including
Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket through Wednesday.  This rainfall
could cause isolated flooding.  Jose is also expected to produce
total rain accumulations up to an inch or so along the northern
mid-Atlantic coast, and from southeast New York to coastal Maine
through Wednesday.
