According to the NHC forecast, Bill should be headed northward through a break in a subtropical ridge. Hopefully at that point it will be scooped up in a trough exiting the Eastern USA and pushed northeast out to see. That would be good news indeed.

Tropical Update, Aug 18.
Well it looks like Ana petered out on us, and it looks like we might also be spared the wrath of Hurricane Bill, which was upgraded to a major hurricane today, the first major Hurricane in the Atlantic this year.

Ana, Bill, and Claudette
Well, looks like we know have 3 systems out there with the potential to have some effect on the US.
Ana has been downgraded to a depression as of this afternoon, but the forecast track brings it into the gulf where it may restrengthen.
Tropical Storm Bill will perhaps become a hurricane tonight. However, the forecast right now indicates a more northern direction so the chance for a recurve to the Atlantic is greater:
Still way to early to say for sure though.
In addition, we had Claudette pop up off the gulf Coast of Florida today. This should make a landfall this evening as a Tropical Storm in the Florida panhandle.
Barometer Bob will have a Hurricane Hollow show at 6 PM Eastern this evening to cover all 3 of these storms. Listen at WRBN.net and keep an eye on local weather info outlets and the NHC.

Tropical Storm Ana 1
Well, TD 2 died, then became Tropical Storm Ana, which just goes to show you can't let your guard down. As of the Saturday morning advisories, it's a minimal storm, but is perhaps forecast to strike the US and the Caribbean.
Latest NHC Advisory on Ana.
This one isn't going to get as much press as TD 3 is going to get once it gets a name, but this could bring some rains and gusty winds to the Caribbean and Florida, and if it gets into the Gulf, hey, who knows? Still it is a potential land-falling system so it bears watching.
Keep in Touch with your local weather outlets and sites like Hurricane Hollow for the latest on this system. I'll also be posting updates through the week.
