Advance forecasts have raised the possibility that Hurricane Jose could threaten New York in the coming week.
The Category One hurricane was on Saturday morning moving northwest 480 miles off of Cape Hatteras with sustained winds of 80mph.
The center of the storm could hit Long Island Wednesday, according to the latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center.
An Air Force hurricane hunter plane was en route to investigate the storm on Saturday morning.
f Jose does track towards the Atlantic seaboard, it could add on to an already devastating hurricane season, following Harvey’s flooding in Texas and Irma’s destruction in Florida.
There’s an 18 percent chance of tropical storm-force winds hitting New York City between Tuesday and Wednesday, Jeff Masters, co-founder of Weather Underground, told Bloomberg.
No areas of the coast are currently under storm watches or warnings, and forecasters stressed vigilance as the storm could hit land or move back out to sea.
