Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual strengthening is forecast during the next few days. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km) from the center.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Philippe can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT2.shtml RAINFALL: Rainfall will begin to affect Bermuda later today with rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches expected through Friday. These rainfall amounts could result in scattered flash flooding. Rainfall across Puerto Rico and the U.S. and British Virgin Islands should gradually diminish early this morning. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible on Bermuda beginning by tonight.

Large swells are already affecting Bermuda from another weather system but will begin to increase further later today as Philippe approaches the island. These conditions are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip currents. Please consult products from your local weather office.
