Tropical Weather Forecast - October 4, 2023
There's still a few months left in hurricane season and we still have one tropical storm to track at this time. Philippe is moving north away from the Caribbean Islands and barely hanging on as a tropical storm. However, it is forecast to become a stronger tropical storm later this week and should track over Bermuda Thursday into Friday where Tropical Storm Warnings are now in effect. Then Philippe will have a shot at making landfall this weekend around northern New England or western parts of Nova Scotia in Canada. Philippe should remain a tropical storm through the weekend and could bring some heavy rain and strong wind to parts of the NE late this week. No other tropical cyclones are expected in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean over the next few days.
