Tropical Storm Philippe intensifies, poses threat of heavy rain and flash flooding in Maine

Subtropical storm Philippe is expected to make landfall in Maine on Saturday night into Sunday morning, bringing a risk of flash flooding as it quickly moves through the area. The storm is currently 165 miles away from Bermuda with 50 mph winds and is moving north at 18 mph. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Bermuda, and Philippe is expected to approach the coast of eastern Maine, Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick. As it nears Maine, Philippe will interact with a developing cold front, potentially causing enhanced rainfall and gusty winds. The storm is expected to become a Post-Tropical Cyclone as it approaches the state and Atlantic Canada.

Potential Subtropical Storm Threatens East Coast

A subtropical storm is likely to form off the Southeast coast and move northward, bringing gusty winds, rough surf, rip currents, shoreline flooding, and heavy rain to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast this weekend. The extent of rainfall and wind inland is uncertain, but most models predict a solid soaking for areas east of Interstate 81. Additionally, there are two other systems to watch in the Atlantic: Hurricane Nigel, which is expected to stay away from land, and a tropical wave over western Africa that has a high chance of developing into a tropical depression or storm.

"Hurricane Nigel Strengthens, East Coast on Alert"

Hurricane Nigel is rapidly strengthening in the Atlantic, with a forecast to reach Category 3, but it is expected to stay comfortably east of Bermuda. Meanwhile, a non-tropical low-pressure system is predicted to form off the east coast of Central or North Florida, potentially developing into a subtropical storm. The system's track is uncertain, but it could bring rain and gusty winds to the coastline. Additionally, a disturbance off the African coast has a high chance of developing into a tropical depression over the Atlantic later this week, although it is not currently a threat to land.

NHC monitoring low pressure systems and potential storms off US coast.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a potential low-pressure system in the Atlantic that could produce gusty winds, dangerous surf, and rip currents across southwestern United States. The system could further strengthen into a subtropical storm over the Memorial Day weekend, bringing strong winds, dangerous surf, and life-threatening rip currents and torrential, flooding rain to the coastal Carolinas. Beachgoers are advised to swim only on beaches with lifeguards in view and high tides may result in closures.

Memorial Day Weekend Weather: Rain or Shine?

A low-pressure system developing near the Southeast coast could bring wet conditions and increased raininess across the region, potentially acquiring characteristics of a subtropical storm. A separate disturbance north of the Bahamas is not expected to develop. The National Hurricane Center may add another area to watch closer to the Southeast coast in the coming days. Subtropical storms are a strange mix of development ingredients and typically occur early or late in the hurricane season.

2023 Hurricane Season Starts Early with First Storm in January

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has announced that the first subtropical storm of the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season formed in mid-January off the coast of the northeastern United States. Although it didn't receive the subtropical storm designation until May, it garnered attention from meteorologists. Records show that named systems have occurred in every month of the year. The first tropical storm will be named Arlene, the first name on the 2023 Atlantic storm name list.
