Coastal flooding may be seen on the shores of New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts.
Wind gusts could climb to over 50 mph along the New Jersey coast, Long Island and southern New England.
Rainfall may be the heaviest in southeastern New England, where up to 5 inches of rain is possible.
By Wednesday morning, Jose is forecast to stop moving north and begin re-curving east into the Atlantic.
