The so-called cone of uncertainty for Hurricane turned Tropical Storm Jose shows the storm tracking toward the New York metropolitan area Tuesday night into Wednesday.

With maximum sustained winds of 70 mph, Jose is expected to regain strength over the weekend and become a hurricane again. At one point last week, it was a Category 4 hurricane, the same strength as Irma and Harvey when they made landfall on the U.S. the last few weeks.

People in coastal areas of the Northeast will need to monitor the progress of Jose, according to AccuWeather.com.
