Issued at 500 PM AST Wed Sep 13 2017 000 WTNT42 KNHC 132031 TCDAT2 Hurricane Jose Discussion Number 34 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122017 500 PM AST Wed Sep 13 2017 Northwesterly shear continues to affect Jose, with exposed low cloud lines over the northwestern portion of the circulation. Overall, the system is a little less well-organized than it was 24 hours ago, with less evidence of banding features. The intensity is kept at 65 kt in agreement with the latest Dvorak classification from TAFB. The global models continue to show significant shear over Jose for the next several days, and this shear is forecast to become quite strong by days 4 and 5. The official intensity forecast shows a little weakening in a couple of days, but it would not be surprising to see Jose drop below hurricane status sooner than shown here. Jose appears to be nearing the base of its anticipated anticyclonic loop while drifting slowly southward. The cyclone is expected to turn to the west and west-northwest over the next day or so. Later in the forecast period, a northward motion is expected as a mid- level high builds to the east-northeast. Jose is expected to move through a break in the subtropical ridge in 3-5 days. The official track forecast is similar to its predecessor and is about in the middle of the reliable guidance suite.
