Even if Bill does miss the islands to the north, rough surf and dangerous rip currents will be possible along the beaches of these islands in the coming days. The current forecast track calls for Hurricane Bill to miss the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico to the north. In the short term, rain and gusty winds are expected over Puerto Rico, the Virgin Island, and parts of the northern Leeward Islands. However, these areas should still monitor this system’s progress over the next several days due to the uncertainly in forecasts father out in time.

The tropical disturbance is forecast to move west-northwest through the open Atlantic over the next few days while steadily gaining strength. There is also a good chance that rough surf may also impact the East Coast of the U.S. this weekend and early next week if Bill follows its current forecast path as shown on the map at the top of this story. Hurricane Bill (Hurricane Bill Projected Path) reached hurricane strength Monday morning in the Central Atlantic, and is now located about 1160 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. In fact, according to the National Weather Service, Bill may be a major hurricane reaching category three or higher by midweek. Residents and visitors of Bermuda should also monitor the progress of Hurricane Bill very closely. {summarized}
