The local NWS predicts rainfall, gusty winds and coastal flooding next week as a result of the storm’s proximity. The organization is also warning beachgoers of a high risk of rip currents.
Jose, which has wavered between a category 4 hurricane and a tropical storm, as it was deemed yesterday, is currently about 500 miles south of Bermuda.
