Philippe is now an extra-tropical system, but it’s still quite strong as it begins to race toward the coast of Maine and Atlantic Canada. Philippe is expected to bring damaging winds and 1 to 3 inches of rain to portions of New York, New England, and southeastern Canada this weekend.
Elsewhere, we’re keeping an eye on a wave in the far eastern Atlantic that has a medium chance of becoming a depression in the next several days as it moves generally west-northwestward.
