At 11:00 a.m., the center of Tropical Storm (TS) Philippe was located approximately 560 miles east of St. Maarten.
Philippe is moving slower towards the west northwest near 2 mph (4 km/h) with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) and higher gusts.
Due to the uncertainty in both track and intensity of TS Philippe, it is expected that there will be fluctuations during the next few days. However, based on the current forecast, Philippe is expected to pass about 300 miles east of St. Maarten.
Tropical Storm (TS) Rina developed this morning in the central tropical Atlantic.
The center of Rina was roughly 1195 miles east of St. Maarten at 11:00 a.m.
TS Rina is predicted to remain over Atlantic waters.
The Meteorological Department of St. Maarten will continue to monitor these systems and update the public accordingly.
