Tropical Storm Philippe to Bring Heavy Rain and Wind to New England

Tropical Storm Philippe is expected to reach the coast of New England and Atlantic Canada this weekend as a post-tropical cyclone, bringing heavy rain and high winds. Flash flooding is a concern for northern New York State, northern Pennsylvania, and New England, with the heaviest rain expected on Saturday. Coastal areas from eastern Massachusetts to Maine may experience high, gusty winds, while Nova Scotia in Atlantic Canada could see the strongest winds, with a 10 percent chance of hurricane-force winds. Philippe is transitioning from a tropical storm to a more typical storm system, which may weaken it but expand the reach of its damaging winds.
