On the forecast track, the center of Philippe will approach and pass near Bermuda Thursday night and Friday, and approach eastern New England and Atlantic Canada on Saturday. Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft and satellite-derived winds indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next day or so. Some strengthening is possible on Friday and Saturday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km) to the east of the center. The minimum central pressure based on aircraft data is 1004 mb (29.65 inches). 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 on Thursday with rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches expected through Friday. These rainfall amounts may result in scattered flash flooding. Rainfall across the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico will continue to diminish this evening.
