DISCUSSION AND 48-HOUR OUTLOOK
------------------------------
At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the center of Hurricane Jose was located
near latitude 34.2 North, longitude 71.0 West. Jose is moving
toward the north near 9 mph (15 km/h) and this general motion is
expected to continue during the next day or so.  A turn to the
northeast is expected to occur on Tuesday night.  On the forecast
track, the center of Jose is forecast to pass well offshore of the
Outer Banks of North Carolina this evening, pass well east of the
Delmarva peninsula tonight and Tuesday, 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 forecast during the next 48
hours.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230
miles (370 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 977 mb (28.85 inches).


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

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. Jose is also
expected to produce total rain accumulations up to 2 inches along
the mid-Atlantic coast, and from southeast New York to coastal
Maine. This rainfall could cause isolated flooding.
