    Watching Hurricane Jose (9/18/2017 5:00 PM)

    Jose Will Pass More Than 250 Miles East Of The Outer Banks

    Dangerous Rip Currents For All Area Beaches

    Very Rough Surf, Beach Erosion Possible Through Tuesday

    Strong Winds Tonight Into Early Tuesday

    Hurricane Jose will be passing well offshore this evening into tomorrow. Even though the worst weather will not come close to our coast, our area will feel some fringe effects from Jose. This includes winds, high surf, some possible beach erosion and some showers through Tuesday.

    The National Weather Service says we should expect north winds 29-32 mph, with gusts as high as 43 mph tonight. Gusty northwest winds, up to 41 mph, will continue through tomorrow. Winds will be lighter Tuesday night and beyond.

    A High Surf Advisory is in effect until 8:00 Tuesday night. High surf will produce localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions.

    A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect until midnight Tuesday night. Onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

    We expect this to be our last Hurricane Jose advisory, as the weather across our area will begin to improve during the afternoon on Tuesday. Of course we will continue to watch Jose and we will post any urgent advisories affecting our area. Should the need arise, we will communicate with our current and incoming guests. If you have any questions, please contact us at (800) 368-3825.

    Jose to Remain 200+ Miles Offshore As It Passes Tonight Into Tomorrow

    Dangerous Rip Currents For All Area Beaches

    Very Rough Surf, Beach Erosion Possible Through Tuesday

    Very Windy Conditions for the Outer Banks Tonight Into Early Tuesday

    There are currently no tropical watches or warnings in effect for the Outer Banks. This morning, Hurricane Jose was located 280 miles ESE from Cape Hatteras, moving north. Jose will remain offshore as it passes by the Outer Banks tonight into Tuesday. An inch of rain or less is expected over the next 24 hours. Along with rip currents, rough surf and possible beach erosion, another impact will be strong winds. A Wind Advisory has been issued for the area.

    We continue to watch Jose and we will post any information we receive right here on our blog. Should the need arise, we will communicate with our current and incoming guests. If you have any questions, please contact us at (800) 368-3825.

    Jose to Remain Offshore, Bringing High Surf, Rip Currents and Shore Break. Look For Red Flags.

    This morning, Jose was located 420 miles from Cape Hatteras, or over 475 miles from Duck, NC. The center of Jose is forecast to pass well east of the North Carolina coast on Monday, and tropical-storm-force winds are currently expected to remain offshore of the North Carolina Outer Banks. However, an additional increase in the size of the storm or a westward adjustment in the track forecast could bring tropical storm conditions closer to the Outer Banks.

    Swells generated by Jose are affecting much of the U.S. east coast. These swells are likely to cause dangerous surf and rip current conditions for the next several days in these areas. There is also the risk of shore break, which occurs when waves break directly on the beach. This can cause head, neck and back injuries.

    We continue to watch Jose and we will post any information we receive right here on our blog. We will also be communicating with our current and incoming guests as the need arises. If you have any questions, please contact us at (800) 368-3825.

    High Surf, Rip Currents Expected This Weekend. Look For Red Flags.

    Hurricane Jose is currently located 480 miles from Cape Hatteras, or 530 miles from Duck, NC. The center of Jose is forecast to pass well east of the North Carolina coast on Monday, and tropical-storm-force winds are currently expected to remain offshore of the North Carolina Outer Banks. However, an increase in the size of the storm or a westward adjustment in the track forecast could bring tropical storm conditions closer to the Outer Banks.

    Swells generated by Jose are affecting Bermuda, the Bahamas, the northern coasts of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, and much of the U.S. east coast. These swells are likely to cause dangerous surf and rip current conditions for the next several days in these areas.

    We continue to watch Jose and we will post any information we receive right here on our blog. We will also be communicating with our current and incoming guests as the need arises. If you have any questions, please contact us at (800) 368-3825.

    High Surf, Rip Currents Expected This Weekend. Look For Red Flags.

    Hurricane Jose is located approximately 700 miles from Duck, NC. The National Hurricane Center upgraded Jose to a hurricane this afternoon, and the storm is expected to maintain hurricane strength for the next four days. While most of the forecast models keep the center of Jose offshore for the next few days, all of the global models show the hurricane becoming rather large by late this weekend as it moves to the east of North Carolina. For that reason, the National Hurricane Center may issue a tropical storm watch for a portion of the coast tomorrow.

    We continue to watch Jose and we will post any information we receive right here on our blog. We will also be communicating with our current and incoming guests as the need arises and the storm’s path becomes more evident. If you have any questions, please contact us at (800) 368-3825.

    The latest GFS/ECMWF models continue to track Jose north off of the coast Monday into Tuesday with the system close enough to produce gusty coastal winds, rain and high seas. […] The rip current threat is expected to be enhanced this whole period, with swells from Jose impacting area beaches.

    High Surf, Rip Currents Expected. Look For Red Flags.

    Tropical Storm Jose is about 760 miles from Duck, NC. The latest National Hurricane Center forecast shows the center of Jose passing well east of the North Carolina coast early next week. However, tropical storm-force winds are expected to extend well west of the center and could approach the Outer Banks on Monday. There are no coastal watches or warnings posted with regards to Jose at this time

    Still Too Early To Know Local Effects, If Any

    Tropical Storm Jose is currently located over 900 miles from Duck, NC. The official forecast from the National Hurricane Center puts the Outer Banks inside the so-called Cone of Uncertainty, which is the forecast model margin of error. Jose is currently forecast to become a hurricane once again some time in the next couple of days. There are no watches or warnings posted for any part of the US mainland.

    It is still too early to tell where Jose is going, as any forecast beyond three days is very much subject to change.

    Please know that we are keeping a close eye on Jose and we will post any information we receive right here on our blog. We will also be communicating with our current and incoming guests as the need arises and the storm’s path becomes more evident. If you have any questions, please contact us at (800) 368-3825.

    The following quote is from the Area Forecast Discussion, written by the National Weather Service office in Morehead City, NC (4:07PM 9/14/2017)

    The official forecast from the hurricane center for Jose now brings the extreme western edge of the cone of uncertainty into the Outer Banks later Monday or Tuesday. A few important points include the high uncertainty at this time range. So much can change between now and early next week. The cone represents the most likely area for the center of the storm to pass, with impacts likely to occur well away from the center itself. Still much uncertainty and low confidence at this point. With that in mind we continue low chances for rain into early next week, especially coastal areas along with breezy conditions. Strongest winds over the Outer Banks and coastal waters, and especially on the back side of Jose Tuesday as the gradient is the strongest. Rip current threat also may be high this whole period, with distant swells from Jose reaching area beaches.
