SATELLITE LOOP
Hurricane Jose is gradually transitioning into a post tropical ocean storm as it continues to move to the north. The position of Jose is far enough east that the National Hurricane Center has taken down the Tropical Storm Watch for all areas except for Suffolk County on Long Island and the Central and Eastern coast of Connecticut. Tropical Storm Warnings are up for areas to the east. As far as this evening and tonight are concerned, clouds will begin to sweep in from off the ocean to the northwest but the western most outer band of rain will not arrive until tomorrow morning. Otherwise it is a warm humid night with temperatures in the 60s to near 70 and a freshening northeast wind.
REGIONAL RADAR
Radars both regionally and locally are still relatively quiet. The offshore position of Jose is so far out right now that we cant even see the westernmost echos on the radar.
LOCAL RADAR NEW YORK CITY
LOCAL RADAR PHILADELPHIA
With regards to Tuesday and Tuesday night inland areas will see minimal impact with perhaps one band of rain coming in during the morning and then weakening. There could be some steady rain over Central & Eastern Long Island and Southeastern Connecticut with fringe gale force winds. Even here conditions will be relatively easy to manage. The only other issue that is still in play is the possibility of coastal flooding and here Western Long Island south shore could see tides 1 to 2 feet above normal into a new moon (Wednesday) and the autumnal equinox (first day of Fall Thursday). This could create moderate coastal flooding and beach erosion at the time of high tide.
Weather conditions should improve from west to east on Wednesday as we wait and see what Jose does regarding any looping action. For now it will just be a return to some sunshine and temperatures in the 80s while clouds may still be an issue along the immediate coast and areas east of NYC.
