Published 9:46 pm Thursday, September 28, 2023

Tropical Storm Rina joined Tropical Storm Philippe in the Atlantic Ocean over the last 24 hours.

So far, they’re both moving westward towards the United States; however, we’re not expecting the path to continue. Models are confident that Philippe will turn towards the north while Rina looks to curve more northwest.

For now, we aren’t expecting any impact from either storm in the U. S.
