As residents in Florida and Texas begin to recover from the deadly chaos brought by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey, meteorologists warn that the United States is in the path of a third hurricane — and it could make landfall early next week.
Marinas, coastal residents and others in the Northeastern U.S. are keeping a wary eye on a major storm heading their way — Hurricane Jose.
The storm is forecast to pass well offshore of North Carolina early next week and could then make landfall in the Mid-Atlantic or New England.
At the Brewer Fiddler’s Cove Marina in Falmouth, Massachusetts, manager Scott Carpenter said one customer had asked for his boat to be hauled out ahead of the storm, but they have not made other storm-related plans.
But the National Hurricane Center has encouraged East Coast residents from North Carolina on up to closely monitor the storm’s progress.
The storm was centered about 485 miles southwest of Bermuda on Friday and had previously weakened to a tropical storm, but Friday it regained hurricane strength.
