Hurricane Jose may not hit land -- but its effects were still felt Monday.
The Category 1 storm continued to move away from the U.S. east coast, producing dangerous surf and rip currents. It wasn't predicted to make landfall.
After the Caribbean was left devastated by Hurricane Irma, there was worry that Jose could do further damage. But it appears to have mainly spared the area.
Hurricane Jose is approximately 230 miles east of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and 445 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts, the National Hurricane Center’s 8 p.m. ET advisory said Monday. It has maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.
The NHC said that "the center of Jose is forecast to pass well offshore of the Delmarva Peninsula tonight and Tuesday, and pass well to the east of the New Jersey coast on Wednesday."
Jose was downgraded to a tropical storm last week, earlier than initially expected by forecasters but then Jose became a Category 1 hurricane again on Friday.
