The estimated minimum central pressure, based on aircraft data, is 945 mb (27.91 inches).

STORM SURGE: Tidal levels will gradually subside over the northern Leeward Islands tonight. SURF: Swells generated by Jose are affecting portions of the Leeward Islands, the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, and will begin to affect the northern coasts of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola, and portions of the Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands over the next couple of days. These swells are likely to produce life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
