Hurricane Jose is a tropical cyclone currently threatening the Lesser Antilles. It is the tenth named storm, fifth hurricane, and third major hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season.
Current storm information

Maximum sustained winds are 105 knots (120 mph; 195 km/h), a Category 3 on the Saffir–Simpson scale, with gusts to 130 knots (150 mph; 240 km/h). The minimum barometric pressure is 966 millibars (hPa; 28.53 inHg). The system is moving west-northwest at 16 knots (18 mph; 30 km/h).

Meteorological history
A westward-moving tropical wave exited the west coast of Africa on August 31. The wave passed south of Cape Verde on September 2 with disorganized thunderstorms, although environmental conditions favored gradual development. [1] [2] By early on September 5, the structure had organized more, and the system was producing winds of tropical storm-force. [3] Later that day, satellite imagery indicated a well-defined center had formed, surrounded by deep convection and banding features. On that basis, the NHC designated the system Tropical Storm Jose at 15:00 UTC on September 5 about 1,505 mi (2,420 km) east of the Lesser Antilles. [4] Jose gradually intensified in the favorable environment, with warm water temperatures, low wind shear, and abundant moisture. [5] The storm developed an eye-like feature and symmetric, radial convection by September 6. The NHC upgraded Jose to hurricane status at 21:00 UTC that day, based on the improved structure and satellite-estimated winds. [6]
