There still has not been too much concern for the US mainland with regards to tropical cyclones over the past few weeks and it looks like it'll stay that way at least for the next several days.
Let's go over the latest on Ophelia and Philippe.
As of 11AM EST this morning, Tropical Storm Ophelia has top winds of 50 miles per hour, moving to the North-Northwest at around three miles per hour. Ophelia poses no threat to land until crossing Bermuda this weekend as you can see by the latest projected path from the National Hurricane Center below.
Philippe is the storm we should keep a closer eye on. As of 11AM EST this morning, Philippe is a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour. This storm is moving to the West-Northwest at 12 miles per hour and is expected to take a more Westward turn by this weekend.
The good news about Philippe; however, is that I do expect this storm to weaken back to a tropical depression and stay at that strength at least through this weekend. You can see Philippe's latest forecast track below.
Out in the Eastern Pacific, the only storm is still Hurricane Hillary. Hilary is now a category one storm and poses no immediate threat to land as she meanders over the Pacific waters. You can see Hilary's track below as well.
That's the latest on the tropics for now!

And a complex apparatus is needed to forecast the weather in this ways. Apparatus include satellites, computers, and barometers and so on.
