There were two tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday.

Tropical Storm Phillipe, the 16th named storm of 2023, could bring rain and gusty winds to Puerto Rico, and the National Hurricane Center urged residents there as well as those in the Virgin and Leeward Islands to keep an eye on the storm.

And Phillipe has company. Tropical Storm Rina formed Thursday just to the east of Phillipe and could influence its future path.

However, the hurricane center’s forecast tracks for both storms keep them well away from the continental U.S. over the next seven days.

As of 4 p.m. CDT Thursday, Tropical Storm Philippe was located about 525 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands and was moving west-northwest at 2 mph. Tropical Storm Rina was located 1,110 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands and was moving northwest at 14 mph.

Here’s the forecast track for Philippe:

Here’s the track for Rina:

Philippe had sustained winds estimated at 45 mph, down from 50 mph earlier today, according to the hurricane center. Rina had sustained winds of 40 mph. Neither storm is expected to become a hurricane in the next seven days, although model forecasts for Philippe vary widely.

Philippe was weakening and could dissipate in the next few days, according to forecasters.

The hurricane center noted that there was a good bit of uncertainty about Philippe’s long-term track. “The track forecast is challenging, in part due to Philippe’s close proximity to Tropical Storm Rina,” the hurricane center said Thursday. “During the next few days, Philippe will likely move slowly southwestward as it rotates around Rina currently to its east. By late in the weekend, however, a sharp northward turn is expected … there remains a very large east-west spread in the models, and disagreements on where Philippe makes its northward turn.”

Rina is forecast to turn more to the northwest, and the seven-day track from the hurricane center keeps the storm out at sea during that time.

The hurricane center expects Rina to gradually strengthen.

There were no other storms being tracked in the Atlantic on Thursday. The Atlantic hurricane season still has about two months left. The last day is Nov. 30.
