Meteorological history

[edit]

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]
