Tropical Storm Philippe Set to Strengthen into Hurricane, Potential US Impact

Tropical Storm Philippe is slowly moving across the Atlantic Ocean, threatening the Leeward Islands with heavy rain, flooding, and high winds. It is expected to become a hurricane later in the week. The storm has already outlasted Tropical Storm Rina and is part of an above-normal hurricane season. While a tropical storm warning is in effect for Antigua and Barbuda, Philippe is not forecasted to directly impact the United States.
