Philippe has finally reached hurricane status after 12 days and 49 advisories according to the NOAA National Hurricane Center. Philippe's status as a hurricane will be short-lived as it will soon be affected by an extratropical low centered over the Canadian maritimes and the attendant drastic increase in vertical wind shear. This image is from GOES East at 1415Z on October 6, 2011.
