Bill is starting to deteriorate; and another wave to watch
Hurricane Bill’s been well-enveloped in its northerly turn around the high pressure in the north Atlantic and is beginning to encounter much more unfavorable conditions. Bill’s roughly located several hundred miles off the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and is packing 100 mph winds.
The story from Bill for Charleston, of course, is high surf and rip currents. It’s a thrilling but dangerous proposition for surfers, as the strong rip currents can sweep people out to sea. High Surf Advisories continue through 6PM Sunday.
Meanwhile, NHC is monitoring a wave off the coast of Africa for development; however, the latest tropical weather outlook shows the wave heading into an increasingly unfavorable atmosphere; unless it gets very organized within the next day or so, chances are pretty low that it will get it together enough to be a depression.
