==Meteorological history==
A westward-moving tropical wave exited the west coast of Africa on August&nbsp;31. The wave passed south of Cape Verde on September&nbsp;2 with disorganized thunderstorms, although environmental conditions favored gradual development.<ref>{{cite report|author=Eric Blake|date=August 31, 2017|accessdate=September 7, 2017|title=Tropical Weather Outlook|publisher=National Hurricane Center|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/text/TWOAT/2017/TWOAT.201708311738.txt|format=TXT}}</ref><ref>{{cite report|author=John Cangialosi|date=September 2, 2017|accessdate=September 7, 2017|title=Tropical Weather Outlook|publisher=National Hurricane Center|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/text/TWOAT/2017/TWOAT.201709020533.txt|format=TXT}}</ref> By early on September&nbsp;5, the structure had organized more, and the system was producing winds of tropical storm-force.<ref>{{cite report|author=John Cangialosi|date=September 2, 2017|accessdate=September 7, 2017|title=Tropical Weather Outlook|publisher=National Hurricane Center|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/text/TWOAT/2017/TWOAT.201709050525.txt|format=TXT}}</ref> Later that day, satellite imagery indicated a well-defined center had formed, surrounded by deep convection and banding features. On that basis, the NHC designated the system Tropical Storm Jose at 15:00&nbsp;UTC on September&nbsp;5 about 1,505&nbsp;mi (2,420&nbsp;km) east of the Lesser Antilles.<ref>{{cite report|author=Chris Landsea|title=Tropical Storm Jose Discussion Number 1|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=September 5, 2017|accessdate=September 7, 2017|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2017/al12/al122017.discus.001.shtml?}}</ref> Jose gradually intensified in the favorable environment, with warm water temperatures, low wind shear, and abundant moisture.<ref>{{cite report|author=Chris Landsea|title=Tropical Storm Jose Discussion Number 2|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=September 5, 2017|accessdate=September 7, 2017|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2017/al12/al122017.discus.002.shtml?}}</ref> The storm developed an eye-like feature and symmetric, radial convection by September&nbsp;6. The NHC upgraded Jose to hurricane status at 21:00&nbsp;UTC that day, based on the improved structure and satellite-estimated winds.<ref>{{cite report|author=David Zelinsky|title=Hurricane Jose Discussion Number 6|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=September 6, 2017|accessdate=September 7, 2017|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2017/al12/al122017.discus.006.shtml?}}</ref>
