Tropical Storm Philippe has consistently tracked further west than official forecasts and most model runs called for, and has done so at a painfully slow pace, prolonging flooding rains, thunderstorms and tropical storm force winds near and over many northeastern Caribbean islands, including Puerto Rico and the USVI.
Later this week it appears increasingly likely that Phillipe will intensify upon heading towards Bermuda, and over this weekend is now forecast to make landfall somewhere between roughly Massachusetts and eastern Nova Scotia as a strong Post-Tropical cyclone.
Elsewhere, there is nothing imminent forming close to home as we are close to starting the second week of October, but a few model's runs suggest that the Gulf could start to see some crossovers from the eastern Pacific by next week, and is something to watch for.
