Marine Tropical Storm · Atlantic North

At 635 AM EST on Sept 22, a marine mesonet station one mile east of Duxbury measured a sustained wind of 40 mph.

Named storm Jose formed over the Tropical Atlantic, moving west and growing to become a Major Hurricane. Jose passed north of the Leeward Islands, then turned on a northward path north of the Dominican Republic. As he moved north, Jose diminished to a Tropical Storm during Tuesday the 19th and then stalled about 150 miles southeast of Nantucket. The storm then slowly drifted south by Friday the 22nd and started to dissipate.

Jose brought strong wind gusts and heavy downpours, primarily to the islands and south coasts of Massachusetts. Rainfall reached about 6 inches on Nantucket, wind gusts reached 62 mph at Nantucket and Aquinnah, and storm surge brought minor coastal flooding to parts of Nantucket.
