Jose would become the longest-lasting Atlantic tropical storm (and or hurricane) if it persists to 09z October 3rd, it formed on September 5th (15z advisory) and the current record is 27 days 18h from 1899. Second place is 27d 6h for Ginger (1971).

Jose only has to last to the 25th to make it into the top ten.

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.

Jose you mean?

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.

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.
