Remnants of Tropical Storm Ophelia continue to cause high winds, flooding, and beach erosion along the Delaware and New Jersey beaches.

As Ophelia weakened, a new tropical storm named Philippe was brewing in the Atlantic.

Coastal flood warnings are in effect along the coast too, stretching into Delaware and southern New Jersey, including Atlantic City.

6abc meteorologists are forecasting heavy rain and nearly 60 mph wind gusts at the shore late Friday night into Saturday.

The National Hurricane Center announced the emergence of “Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen” on Thursday morning.

Philadelphia recorded just one official heat-related death, the lowest count in 6 years.

Atlantic storm Lee has made landfall in Nova Scotia, Canada, at near-hurricane strength with sustained winds of 70 mph (110 kph).

The water-logged region is getting ready for tropical-storm-force wind gusts that will span an area more than 400 miles wide.

As of early Tuesday afternoon, Lee was packing 115 mph winds and moving west-northwest at a virtual crawl of just 6 mph.

As Hurricane Lee makes its way north, forecasters are watching for impacts on the Jersey Shore this week.

The powerful Category 3 storm is restrengthening as it moves northwest, but currently poses no immediate threat to people on land, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The hurricane isn't currently threatening anyone on land. That's a relief: Lee's maximum sustained winds are now predicted to top 160 mph by this weekend.

The National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Lee is forecast to strengthen rapidly into an "extremely dangerous" major hurricane this weekend.

The NWS recommends that people stay indoors and check on older relatives and neighbors.

Idalia made landfall near Keaton Beach, Fla., as a Category 3 hurricane on Wednesday, gradually weakening as it ripped through the state, into Georgia and across the Carolinas
