The heaviest rain is expected Tuesday night into Wednesday.

"Our weather locally will be impacted by Jose beginning on Tuesday," said Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

Monday night Hurricane Jose continued to be a modest category 1 hurricane but meteorologists predicted it would weaken to a Tropical Storm Tuesday into Wednesday.

Still, Jose’s anticipated track was expected bring the most significant impacts along and just east of the Northeast Interstate 95 corridor.

“A hurricane does not need to make landfall to cause significant adverse effects in the Northeast, since the shape of the coast tends to enhance storm effects and trap ocean water,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said. "The slow-moving and lingering nature of Jose will lead to prolonged impact on beach communities and offshore interests."
