TRACKING THE TROPICS:
Tropical Storm Philippe is bringing rain and winds to the island of Bermuda. Philippe will take a Northerly track over the next several days as a tropical storm. Weakening is expected as Philippe moves inland over New England and Atlantic Canada this weekend.
A tropical wave we’re watching is expected to move off the west coast of Africa stands at a 50% chance of development over the next 7 days. Most models take this feature on a northerly track while over the tropical Atlantic.
