Hurricane Jose is currently a Category 1 storm and has been forecasted to create life-threatening rip currents and large waves off Long Island and New Jersey on Tuesday and Wednesday. The National Weather Service also predicted fierce wind and heavy rain will pour down on the affected areas.
By Sunday, Suffolk County was already feeling Jose, as they got hit with 4 to 8 foot waves. “I would expect they’d get bigger as the week goes on,” said Faye Morrone, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Brookhaven, LI, office.
As Jose moves closer, the hurricane may cause flooding in communities on the Long Island Sound, as well as the Peconic and Gardiner Bays. “If you know that you tend to be vulnerable and in a space that floods during storms, take the necessary precautions.’ Morrone warned.
According to the National Hurricane Center in Miami, northern New Jersey and New York may be hit by tropical force winds as high as 50 mph by Tuesday.
