Tropical storm José joined this Thursday Hurricane Franklin, the tropical storm idalia and two low pressure systems to compose the typical scenario of the peak of the hurricane season in the Atlantic basin.
Joseph, formed in the middle of the Atlantic and located today about 785 miles (1,265 km) east southeast of Bermudacurrently does not pose any danger to land, unlike Idalia, which 24 hours after entering Florida from the Gulf of Mexico as a category 3 hurricane, now threatening North Carolina from the sea.

Jose is a small system moving in a northerly direction with maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour (65 km/h) and will be absorbed by Hurricane Franklin on Friday, according to the US National Hurricane Center (NHC).
A strong, long-lived hurricane Franklin, which made landfall in the Dominican Republic a week ago, is moving away from Bermuda and moving in an east-northeast direction at 15 miles per hour (24 km/h) with maximum sustained winds of 100 miles per hour (150 km/h).
Swells and ripples from Franklin are battering a long stretch of the US Atlantic seaboard, from the mid-Atlantic to the far northeast.
According to him NHCFranklin will begin a gradual weakening in the next few days.
As for Idalia, which after touching the western end of Cuba hit Keaton Beach (northwest Florida) on Wednesday with rain, wind and storm surge like a major hurricane, it lost strength as it passed through Georgia and South Carolina.
Today it is a tropical storm with winds of 60 miles per hour (95 km/h) that will be located today over the Atlantic off the North Carolina coast and moving in an east-northeast direction at 21 miles per hour (33 km/h).

Tropical storm warnings and storm surge warnings are still in effect for an area of the east coast of USA that reach the state of Virginia.
On the forecast track, the center of Idalia will be just off the coast of North Carolina today and will move later on the Atlantic until the weekend.
Little change in the intensity of the winds is expected today, but some gradual weakening could occur on Friday and Saturday, according to the NHC.
Tropical storm force winds extend up to 185 miles (295 km) from central Idalia.
The combination of storm surge and tide can raise sea levels in some spots by as much as 4 feet (1.2 meters), while Idalia’s rains can cause flash flooding and river overflows inland.
The presence of idalia produces strong surf and a threat of tornadoes.
Also, the NHC reports two low pressure systems, one in the eastern Tropical Atlantic that it could reach a greater development and become a tropical depression during the next days, and another one in the center of the Subtropical Atlantic with less probabilities of development.
