Tropical Storm Philippe Makes Landfall in Barbuda, Threatens Leeward Islands

Tropical Storm Philippe made landfall in Barbuda and threatens the Leeward Islands with heavy rain and flash flooding.
The storm currently has maximum sustained winds of 50 mph as it moves northwest.

Philippe could potentially strengthen into a hurricane in the central Atlantic by midweek.
The storm's path shifted northward due to high pressure steering it away from the Caribbean.
