The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Philippe was centered Sunday night about 155 miles east of Guadeloupe and about 190 miles east-southeast of Barbuda. Top sustained winds were at 50 mph as Philippe was crawling to the west-northwest at 5 mph. A tropical storm watch remains in effect for Antigua and Barbuda.
