Tropical Storm Philippe sets sights on New England

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is still watching Tropical Storm Philippe, which is still holding its own. Weber says the storm has a ragged appearance due to wind shear. He says Philippe has made a turn to the north and will continue heading north-northwest. According to Weber, Philippe will attach to a cold front and lose some of its tropical characteristics. However, it should bring heavy rain to the New England area as we head into the weekend.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching Tropical Storm Philippe, which he now says will not likely strengthen into a hurricane by the end of the week. He said after a brief landfall yesterday, it is working its way back over open water where conditions aren’t conducive to becoming a hurricane, but it is still holding its own. He says the storm will move northward though where exactly it is heading is unclear. Weber says it may eventually impact land areas near Canada.

There’s still two months left in the 2023 hurricane season and FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on the tropics. He says the biggest player this tome of year are cold fronts that work their way down south and can create an area of low pressure that may develop tropical characteristics. Weber is watching Tropical Storm Philippe, which is expected to strengthen into a hurricane toward the end of the week. However, Weber says Philippe will stay over open waters.
