The Atlantic basin now has three hurricane-strength storms at once.
On Wednesday, Katia and Jose upgraded to hurricane status, joining Irma, a Category 5 storm with 185-mph winds.
Katia was in the Gulf of Mexico, about 175 miles north of Veracruz, Mexico, and it's expected to drop 5 to 10 inches of rain onto the city. Jose was out over the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,000 miles from the Lesser Antilles islands.
The GOES-16 satellite captured this shot around 3:15 p.m. ET, with Katia approaching Mexico, Irma over the Caribbean islands, and Jose out in the Atlantic.
Jose became a Category 1 hurricane with 75-mph winds.
