SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Tropical Storm Philippe aimed for Bermuda on Thursday on a path that would eventually take it to Atlantic Canada and eastern New England.
The storm was located 520 miles south of Bermuda on Thursday morning. It had winds of up to 45 mph and was moving north at 10 mph.
A tropical storm warning was in effect for Bermuda, with forecasters warning of heavy rainfall starting Thursday evening.
Philippe’s center is expected to pass near Bermuda on Friday and then approach eastern New England and Atlantic Canada on Saturday as a post-tropical cyclone.
Philippe is a large storm, with tropical-storm-force winds extending up to 230 miles from its center.
Philippe made landfall in Barbuda late Monday and downed trees and power lines on several islands in the northeast Caribbean, forcing closures of schools, businesses and government offices. The U.S. Virgin Islands on Thursday reported major power outages on St. Thomas and St. John, with crews struggling to restore electricity.
