ZCZC MIATCDAT2 ALLTTAA00 KNHC DDHHMMHurricane Jose Discussion Number 10NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122017Issued by the NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD500 PM AST Thu Sep 07 2017Jose has continued to develop a well-defined eye on satelliteimagery this afternoon, with the eye now established in the centerof a ring of strong convection. 18 UTC Dvorak fixes from TAFB andSAB came in at T5.5, which suggests 100 knot intensity. However,given the ongoing improvements in satellite presentation and CIMSSADT numbers which have since climbed higher, the initial intensityfor this advisory is set at 105 knots. This makes Jose a Category 3hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. It is thethird major hurricane in the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season(Harvey, Irma). It also means we have two major hurricanessimultaneously in the Atlantic basin, which is not too common --especially in such close proximity. The last time this happened wasin 2010 when Igor and Julia were both major hurricanes on September15-16, and then Igor and Karl were both major hurricanes briefly onSeptember 17.FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDSINIT 07/2100Z 15.5N 52.4W 105 KT 120 MPH 12H 08/0600Z 16.0N 54.8W 115 KT 130 MPH 24H 08/1800Z 16.6N 57.6W 120 KT 140 MPH 36H 09/0600Z 17.3N 59.8W 110 KT 125 MPH 48H 09/1800Z 18.4N 61.7W 105 KT 120 MPH 72H 10/1800Z 21.9N 65.5W 95 KT 110 MPH 96H 11/1800Z 25.5N 67.9W 80 KT 90 MPH120H 12/1800Z 27.3N 67.2W 75 KT 85 MPH$$Forecaster Lamers/CarbinNNNN
