DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 19-23)
\nJose is now essentially half tropical and half non-tropical as it spins to the south of New England, moving north then turning east and beginning somewhat of a loop as it eventually turns back south and then probably west again during this 5-day period. Its impact on southeastern New England will be similar to that of a typical “nor’easter” type storm with gusty winds, some rain, and some coastal flooding and splashover issues, which may be of moderate magnitude. Some trees may come down since they are still with foliage and more “top-heavy” than in the winter. So due to that, power outages may occur. The peak of the impact on this area will be Wednesday, with a lessening after. High pressure will build in for the very end of the period with nicer weather. All the while, powerful hurricane Maria which is devastating a few islands in the Caribbean will continue to track northeast and eventually find its way east of the Bahamas – a precarious position for concerns in New England many times, but it is very possible that Jose’s continued habit of doing loops may essentially save the US East Coast, including New England of any impact from Maria save for some additional rough surf beyond the end of this period. More on this in the days ahead, because a faster westward movement by Jose would open the door for Maria to end up closer to the coast as it gets further north.

DAYS 6-10 (SEPTEMBER 24-28)
\nLow confidence forecast due to some uncertainty with Jose’s movement and the eventual path of Maria (see above). For now will go with return of clouds Sunday September 24 into Monday September 25 with some rain risk southern areas, then a clearing trend following. Temperatures generally above normal.<\/p>\n
DAYS 11-5 (SEPTEMBER 29-OCTOBER 3)
