JB said its still a threat to his forecast region, so it's still a threat ! 
That's significant... OBX still needs to watch this very closely imoAs metwannabe alluded to earlier, Jose is tracking well to the south of the GFS, CMC, ECMWF, and even the UKMET's 6-12 hour forecast points at the moment, wouldn't be surprised if NWP shifts west yet again at 12z as a result...

Lol, I'm still interested in watching the storm too. The GFS, even though east, seems still just as strong. A slight adjustment west with the ridge and we could see a Cape Cod area hit.I see 12z GFS shifted ever so slightly east..... btw from NHC, pretty much shows you why Webb and I about the only one's interested in Jose Lol

Watch this and then guess the name of one other who might just be a little interested ...I see 12z GFS shifted ever so slightly east..... btw from NHC, pretty much shows you why Webb and I about the only one's interested in Jose Lol

Lol I know, in fact, if the board wasn't storm warn out from Harvey and Irma we'd probably have to go live thread mode... and agreed any west jog brings Cape Cod in play but also the OBX with some high surf, beach erosion, rough seas to say the leastLol, I'm still interested in watching the storm too.

I hear ya Phil but rest assured Jose will not pose a threat to you at all....Watch this and then guess the name of one other who might just be a little interested ...

If 96L becomes a threat, we will really be worn out. Glad Jose isn't going to be even a close call for us here in the SE.Lol I know, in fact, if the board wasn't storm warn out from Harvey and Irma we'd probably have to go live thread mode... and agreed any west jog brings Cape Cod in play but also the OBX with some high surf, beach erosion, rough seas to say the least
OBX is the SE and still too early to say not a close call for them.... it's my favorite place on earth and I have many friends/family that either live there or have places there. But I get what your saying for the most part it's not a SE threatIf 96L becomes a threat, we will really be worn out. Glad Jose isn't going to be even a close call for us here in the SE.
Webb or someone who knows far more than I should weigh in on this but it appears to me if Jose interacts more with the trough and transitions to ET then it actually becomes a bigger threat to the ME or NE (tugged west, expanding wind field, etc.) but if it misses that as the GFS does then it's around for a while.Here we go again, going south after having its escape to post tropical cut off. How likely even is it that something plays out this way?
I "know"; it's just I've heard that song a few times and the lyrics don't change ... LOLI hear ya Phil but rest assured Jose will not pose a threat to you at all....
edited for spelling... I hate doing that lol
the UKMET has Jose passing within 50 miles of Cape Hatteras

Yep, and let's just hope we do not get a single storm south of the Greater Antilles that curves northward as it approaches Jamaica, or a storm that forms down there and moves towards the Gulf. That would be trouble given that environment is extremely hot and can blow a storm up into a monster any time. After all, that is where all the strongest storms except now Irma got their worst.Yeah, let's not forget we also have to go thru October and any threats that emerge out of the Caribbean, which has still been largely untouched this season thus far....
HWRF has it just east of the OBX with a large eye

Not to mention the larger eye this hour. Alot of the coast would feel impacts.
Fortunately, the deeper we get into fall the more likely any hurricane would be to curve north before reaching the US. Seems like October threats usually come from the Gulf.
Yep shifted east of it's 0z runEuro looks to be safely east of the OBX
