Tropical Storm Jose is expected to strengthen back into Hurricane Jose later today, bringing high surfs and rip currents to the US East Coast.
Two other storms are also brewing over the Atlantic, sparking fears that the next hurricanes named Lee and Maria could form soon.
Tropical Storm Lee is set to form today out of what is now known as Tropical Depression 14 near the Cabo Verde Islands off Africa.
The second storm is only just beginning but it could eventually develop into Hurricane Maria amid fears that it might threatened the Leeward Islands.

Hurricane Lee and Hurricane Maria? More storms gain strength over the Atlantic [h=3]RELATED ARTICLES[/h]
Meteorologist Ryan Maue tweeted: “Atlantic tropics ramping up again. In a few days, we'll have 3 swirling out there ... Hurricane Jose, TS Lee, and probably Hurricane Maria.
“Maria -- if it develops as quickly as GFS indicates -- could be a really big problem for the Islands in the Caribbean reeling from Irma.”
Americans are closing watching the new storms after Hurricane Harvey caused devastating flooding in Houston and Hurricane Irma ravaged Florida.
WTTG FOX 5 Meteorologist Mike Thomas tweeted: “Harvey, Katia, & Irma may be gone, but tropics remain active. Jose remains in the west Atlantic while Lee & Maria may form this weekend.”
National Hurricane Center spokesman Dennis Feltgen said: “The peak of the hurricane season is mid-August through late October, and conditions remain favorable across the Atlantic basin for systems to form and strengthen.”

Hurricane Lee and Hurricane Maria? New storms form over the Atlantic Hurricanes Katia and Max have hit Mexico, while Tropical Storm Norma is set to turn into a hurricane as it heads towards Baja California.
The NOAA National Hurricane Center (NHC), based in Miami, said that Tropical Depression 14 is set to become Tropical Storm Lee later today.
The NHC’s latest update for Jose said a hurricane hunter plane is en route to find out if Jose has become a hurricane again.
The public advisory said: “Swells generated by Jose are affecting Bermuda, the Bahamas, the northern coasts of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, and the southeast coast of the United States, and will spread northward along the Mid-Atlantic coast of the US during the next few days.

Hurricane Lee? Tropical Storm Jose is expected to form later today “These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.”


The update added: “Although the center of Jose is currently forecast to pass well east of the North Carolina coast early next week, tropical-storm-force winds are expected to extend well west of the center and could approach the North Carolina Outer Banks on Monday. “Farther north along the U.S. east coast, it is too soon to determine if any other direct impacts from Jose will occur.”
Americans living along the US East between North Carolina and New England have been told to “monitor the progress” of Jose.
