Hurricane Bill update


Hurricane Bill update
Hurricane Bill, upgraded to a Category 4 storm, tore across the Atlantic Wednesday with raging winds nearing 135 mph, threatening a possible strike near Bermuda in a few days, meteorologists reported. Forecasters predicted the hurricane could get even stronger. "The wind sheer is light and the waters are warm," said Todd Kimberlain, a forecaster at the National Hurricane Center.
"Those are two essential ingredients not just for the formation, but also the maintenance, of hurricanes." Early Wednesday, Bill was centered about 460 miles east of the Leeward Islands and was expected to pass them later in the day or by early Thursday. The most significant threat could be to Bermuda, which the storm could hit in three or four days, Kimberlain said. It also could move directly between Bermuda and the eastern coast of the U.S. without making landfall.
The latest Hurricane Bill update is not that good news to people at Leeward Island because Bill is expected to touch the northeastern part of the island late Wednsday or early Thursday. The National Hurricane Center has adviced the people at Leeward Islands to monitor Bill's progress. Bill is now considered a dangerous category 4 storm; its top sustained wind has the speed of 135 mph. Bill is expected to hit Bermuda in three or four days. Last Tuesday Bill was 460 miles of Leeward Island and was moving west-northwest at about 16 miles per hour.

Hurricane Bill projected path

Hurricane Bill projected path speculation is rising now that Hurricane Bill has become a serious storm. The projected path of Hurricane Bill is the first one of serious interest in the Atlantic hurricane season. For now, the Hurricane Bill projected path predictions have it remaining inHurricane Bill Projected Path Watched Closely the Atlantic Ocean for the moment. However, Hurricane Bill's projected path may bring it on land within the end of the week, though people on land still have a lot of time to prepare.
The Hurricane Bill projected path still gives the storm a few days to become a real, threatening hurricane. It remains 1100 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, with maximum winds up to 75 MPH. However, the Hurricane Bill projected path speculates that it will pack a punch when the week ends. However, other predictions have Hurricane Bill's projected path missing land altogether. Though Hurricane Bill may increase in strength over the next few days, there is still a good chance that it may not make landfall.
Hurricane Bill is projected to become a major hurricane by Wednesday, as it begins to get closer to land. The first land to be threatened could be the Virgin Islands, as Hurricane Bill may skirt the northern edge. It is Bermuda that might get hit by Hurricane Bill by the end of the week. The Hurricane Bill projected path is still being watched closely, in case the best case scenarios are wrong and it does hit land.
