Teribly sorry if I duplicated but I thought the topic you're talking about was something totally different and not Philippe. According to the NHC Philippe is doing a different direction. The area you're talking about (I think) is below Philippe.

Again, I'm sorry if I duplicated but I think we're talking about different things.

THE LEFTWARD BEND IN TRACK CONTINUES...AND INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE
IS NOW AROUND 290/16...ALTHOUGH THE SHORTER-AVERAGE SPEED IS EVEN
FASTER. PHILIPPE IS CAUGHT IN THE FLOW AROUND A LARGER
DEEP-LAYER CYCLONIC CIRCULATION CENTERED ABOUT 200 N MI TO THE
SOUTH. IN FACT...PHILIPPE NOW HAS THE APPEARANCE OF AN EMBEDDED
LOW-LEVEL VORTICITY MAXIMUM...AND MAY NO LONGER HAVE A CLOSED
CIRCULATION. SINCE THE LARGER CIRCULATION TO THE SOUTH IS BECOMING
THE DOMINANT WEATHER SYSTEM...THE OFFICIAL FORECAST CALLS FOR
PHILIPPE TO BECOME ABSORBED AND DISSIPATE WITHIN 24 HOURS.
HOWEVER... IF PRESENT TRENDS CONTINUE...PHILIPPE COULD DISSIPATE
EVEN SOONER.

Thanks Chris -- so now, instead of being concerned with Philippe, we need to be concerned with a Philippe-eater? :) Hurry up November 30th! :D

phillipe is going to be absorbed by the center forming hundreds of miles to the south - which may become STAN perhaps as it heads west (or even southwest towards the Bahamas as the GFS hints) around a high that is forecasted to come off the New England coast in a couple of days
