Tropical Storm Philippe Threatens New England and Canada with Heavy Rainfall
Tropical Storm Philippe is expected to bring wind and rain to the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada this weekend. The storm is currently located southwest of Bermuda and is forecasted to track north, passing near Bermuda before approaching eastern New England and Atlantic Canada. Philippe is expected to strengthen gradually but will likely weaken to a post-tropical cyclone as it nears New England and Canada. Residents in these areas should be prepared for strong winds and heavy rainfall. Flash flooding is expected in parts of New York and New England, and dangerous surf and rip currents are anticipated along the Atlantic coasts.
