Hurricane Jose has now been upgraded by the National Hurricane Center to a Category 3 storm. It is the 3rd major hurricane that formed at the Atlantic Ocean. First was Harvey and the second is Category 5 Hurricane Irma which will hit Florida and another part of United States this weekend.
Sustained winds are now as high as 120mph, the NHC said.
Jose is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 2 to 6 inches in the Leeward Islands from Dominica to Anguilla. Isolated maximum amounts of 10 inches are possible in the northern Leeward Islands from Antigua and Barbuda to Anguilla. This rainfall will maintain any ongoing flooding and may cause additional life-threatening flooding.
