ZCZC MIATCDAT2 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Post-Tropical Cyclone Jose Discussion Number 70 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122017 500 PM AST Fri Sep 22 2017 After 70 advisories, enough is enough. The tropical-storm-force winds from Jose have finally subsided and moved out of the southern New England. Thus, the wind hazard to land has decreased, and this will be the last advisory on Jose since it is already post-tropical. A slow decay over cold water is forecast while the low drifts southeastward to southward. The cyclone should degenerate into a trough within 3 days as forecast by the global models. The swell and rip current threat will remain across large portions of the U.S. east coast for quite some time, due to the wave field from both Jose and Maria.
