Jose Strengthens into a Cat 1 in the Atlantic

Jose continues to gain strength in the Atlantic Ocean and is now the fifth hurricane of the 2017 season.
(MORE: Hurricane Central)
Jose is currently located more than 1,000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles and is moving west-northwest at 15-20 mph.

Jose is expected to gain strength the next few days and will likely attain major hurricane status  (with winds of 130 mph or greater) on Friday or Saturday.
By this weekend, Jose is then expected to slow down and turn northwest. However, how close Jose comes to the northern Leeward Islands before making that turn remains uncertain.
