Tropical Storm Jose has been creating some kind of suspense amongst meteorologists as well as residents of the United States for quite some time now. After intensifying into a Cat 4 Hurricane, Jose continued to hurl in the Atlantic sparing landmasses from another catastrophe after Hurricane Irma.
However, Jose weakened into a tropical storm and is still hovering in the Atlantic only. However, as per weather experts, Tropical Storm Jose may once again intensify into a Hurricane and pose a threat to some parts of the United States.

Cities that may be affected include Outer banks of North Carolina, Maryland and Delaware as the storm has moved westwards, changing its path. During the coming weekend, Jose is expected to regain strength and become a hurricane again.
Before Jose turns north, it is expected to move slightly closer towards the United States. While some models say that Jose will continue moving in the sea, a few have been indicating that it may make a landfall in the East Coast.
However, it is still too soon to determine the actual impact areas if at all Jose makes a landfall. At present, Jose is 375 miles northeast of the southeastern Bahamas, and has been moving at a speed of 8 mph in a west northwest direction.
Regardless of its path, Jose will result in rough rip and surf conditions in areas including Bermuda, the Bahamas, North Hispaniola Coast, Puerto Rico and the coastal parts of southeast US.
