Hurricane Jose may threaten New York City and other areas of the East Coast by next week, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The storm, about 480 miles (775 kilometers) south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane late Friday as it churned through the Atlantic Ocean. Jose’s path could put it near New Jersey and New York by Wednesday morning, although it may weaken to a tropical storm again by then, the center said.
