Jose has weakened to a tropical storm, but the system is still on track to bring tropical storm-force winds to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts.
According to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Jose is currently 165 miles south of Nantucket with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph. The storm is set to pass well to the east of the New Jersey coast today, and offshore of southeastern Massachusetts on Thursday. A tropical storm warning remains in effect for Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Block Island, as well as an area ranging from Woods Hole to Sagamore Beach, including Cape Cod.
The storm is still going to bring dangerous surf and rip currents to the U.S. east coast and Bermuda over the next several days.
