Get ready for a stormy time with Jose, Lee and Maria

Maria “could be a really big problem for the islands in the Caribbean reeling from Irma,” warned Maue.

As for Jose, ocean swells generated by the storm will continue to impact Bermuda, the Bahamas, Puerto Rico and the U.S. East Coast over the weekend and into early next week, the hurricane center said.

“These swells are likely to cause dangerous surf and rip current conditions,” according to the hurricane center.

Waves higher than 10 feet may reach the coastline north of the Georgia/South Carolina border late this weekend, Weather.com said.

Much of the coast of New England remains in the “cone of uncertainty” for Jose, so a graze or strike is still possible.

As for intensity, “we expect Jose to fluctuate between a minimal hurricane and tropical storm over the next several days,” according to AccuWeather hurricane expert Dan Kottlowski.

Looking ahead, hurricane activity in the Atlantic should continue to be above-normal over the next couple of weeks, according to Colorado State University meteorologist Phil Klotzbach.

In the Pacific, Tropical Storm Norma is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane as it moves toward Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. A hurricane watch may be posted for the Baja later Friday, which would include the tourist resorts of Cabo San Lucas.

Rain from the remnants of Norma could dampen portions of the U.S. Southwest by the middle of next week.
