Hurricane Bill Projected Path - Watch Closely!!

The first tropical storm of the Atlantic season has hit the north-eastern Caribbean and the Florida Panhandle with gale-force winds and driving rain.

Although Tropical Storm Claudette weakened as it hit land, strong gusts of wind continued to batter Panama City in Florida during the night.

Hurricane Bill, which is currently producing tropical winds extending out 200 miles, is expected to become a major storm in the next couple of days, although it is not expected to hit Florida.

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.

Hurricane Bill Projected Path Watched Closely in 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.

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.

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. The biggest damage to the shores may come from high tides created by the remains of Hurricane Bill.

The Hurricane Bill projected path is still being watched closely, in case the best case scenarios are wrong and it does hit land. It is part of a massive new string of hurricane watching, as Tropical Storm Ana begins to die down, Tropical Storm Claudette reaches Florida, and Hurricane Guillermo finally starts to weaken in the Pacific.

Tropical Storm Claudette hit Florida early Monday, lashing tourist resorts with strong winds and heavy rain as Tropical Storm Bill, the first Atlantic hurricane of the season, was reclassed as a hurricane after gatherng power.

This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite handout image shows Hurricane Bill soon after undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle. Hurricane Bill, a Category 2 storm that is the first of the Atlantic storm season, continued to strengthen Tuesday with wind speeds hitting 110 miles per hour (175 kilometers per hour), weather forecasters said.

I don’t think anyone living along the EC should let there guard down. I know the models can be somewhat accurate. But I have seen Hur

ricane miss troughs, currents ect.. Bill is a powerful Hurricane, which should not be taken lightly. I believe two troughs has to come in to play when it comes to Bill being steered out to sea. So we need to see what the end of this week holds.

So, hold tight my dear readers. It just goes to show you how unpredictable Hurricane Bill is and you just don't know what kind of damage it will do. My suggestion is to make sure you don't get pulled down in the undercurrent, or swept away, thinking you could battle this one out.

Certainly, if you follow too close, you're likely to be left with some major damage from this horrifically abusive storm. After Hurricane Bill, you'll be blessed just to get away alive.
