Still not a big deal, just a tropical depression. I don't know about the red "x" behind it though.

Phil--certainly, as to Philippe. What's the thoughts about the one behind Philippe?

Check Mike's Weather site. For some reason NWS site does not show most recent posts.

91L riding behind TS Philippe (Soon to be named Rita) is going to interact with TS Philippe so it will not push 91L north but go more west. Not Good!

OK thanks. I thought you were referring to the OP's posted pictures. Guess my eyes aren't as bad as I thought. LOL

Not sure how accurate the assessment is, but on Island 92 today they indicated that 91L will go also go north and not be a problem.

If one looks at the projected track for Philippe the next few days, it looks like a little lost boy!! Wandering around with nowhere to go.

Thankfully it looks like it will have completely run out of gas by the time it passes. As everyone says, we could use the rain. My dog disagrees, he doesn't care for the rain.

Possible Fujiwhara effect where two storms close to each other merge and become one… interesting!

Philippe continues to be a very weird storm. Expected to just meander around for the next several days, and then (hopefully) head straight north.

Be careful out on the roads, people!! Tropical downpours can be very dangerous if you are out driving in them.

http://sunsetsxm.com/plane-info/ Beautiful day at Sunset Beach Bar and the sand came back. The storm is worst on the southeast side of the circulation and not causing bad weather for now. So go enjoy the day but always keep an eye to the sky!

The island cam is showing some showers now, but nothing much on the other webcams. Presumably tomorrow will be the worst of what the island will get.

45 miles away from SXM so the storm will be at your door in a few hours. Guadeloupe recorded 12.4 inches of rain totals with dangerous flooding. Be safe!

According to Island 92, the storm is about 45 miles north of SXM. The sea is churned up but there does not seem to be much of a tidal surge on Simpson Bay Beach. All businesses are closed for the day and motorists are advised to stay off the roads.

SXM Island cam looks very cloudy. Tropical storm WARNING issued for Anguilla. Weird, considering no watches even for SXM?
