US Hazards

Tropical Storm Conditions for the Northeast on Tuesday and Wednesday
Hurricane Jose will continue to track northward on Tuesday. Though the center is forecast to remain well offshore, it may begin to spread some low end tropical storm conditions into coastal areas of the Mid Atlantic and Northeast. Gusty winds of 40-45 mph with gusts in excess of 55 mph, rainfall amounts of 2-4 inches with locally higher amounts in excess of 5 inches, and coastal flooding will all be potential hazards. Conditions will continue into Wednesday as Jose remains off the East Coast.

Tropical Storm Advisories

Severe Thunderstorms Expected Tuesday from the Northern Plains to the Upper Midwest
As an area of low pressure moves into the Northern Plains on Tuesday, a warm front will lift northward and allow for an increasingly unstable environment ahead of an approaching cold front. Thunderstorms are forecast to develop ahead of the cold front by late afternoon or early evening. These storms should evolve into a complex through the late evening and overnight hours. Damaging winds will be the primary hazard with a lesser risk of large hail and tornadoes. The highest severe risk will be centered over eastern portions of the Dakotas.

SPC Convective Outlook for Tuesday

Thunderstorm Potential Wednesday for the Upper Midwest
A cold front is forecast to move eastward across the Upper Midwest on Wednesday. There will be a potential for at least a narrow band of thunderstorms to develop just ahead of the front, especially by the afternoon. Some non-severe thunderstorms may be ongoing earlier in the day which may inhibit instability needed for severe thunderstorms later in the day. However, it appears there will be at least a marginal risk for strong to severe thunderstorms. Gusty winds and hail will be the primary hazards with these storms.
