FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching Tropical Storm Philippe, which he now says will not likely strengthen into a hurricane by the end of the week. He said after a brief landfall yesterday, it is working its way back over open water where conditions aren?t conducive to becoming a hurricane, but it is still holding its own. He says the storm will move northward though where exactly it is heading is unclear. Weber says it may eventually impact land areas near Canada.
