The U.S. East Coast is bracing for the potential simultaneous impact of two tropical storms this week, a rare occurrence that could bring widespread rainfall, high surf, and coastal hazards. As of Sunday,September 24th,forecasters are tracking Tropical Storm Ophelia and Tropical Storm Philippe,both posing threats to the region.
These systems, while not currently projected to make landfall as major hurricanes, present a complex forecast scenario. The primary concerns are rainfall along the periphery of the storms and hazardous high surf conditions. Forecasts are subject to change as new atmospheric data becomes available,but Storm Team 4 is committed to providing continuous updates.
Currently, rain associated with these systems and elevated surf are the most likely immediate impacts. Residents along the coastline should monitor conditions closely and heed any warnings issued by local authorities.The potential for two storms impacting the U.S. at the same time underscores the active nature of this year’s hurricane season.
NBC New York will continue to deliver the latest information on these storms, providing updates on air, online at NBCNewYork.com,and across its social media platforms. Residents are encouraged to stay informed and prepared as the forecast evolves in the coming days.
