Tropical Storm Ana and Bill

TD #2 has turned into Tropical Storm Bill as of 5 PM today. Currently, TS Bill is located at 11.3N and 35.2W or about 820 miles WSW of the Cape Verde islands. TS Bill is heading west @ 16 mph with winds of 40 mph. Other than that nothing else is new. Models are going up and down, but nothing is for sure. The models should get a better handle on TS Bill since it is no longer a fictional storm as the models were showing. We should get a better idea of what will happen with TS Bill as the days go by, but by Thursday 2 PM it will be about 159 miles NE of Puerto Rico. Let's give it a few more days and see what happens.

Tropical Storm Ana as of 8 PM was located at 14.4N 50.4W or about 730 miles ESE of the Leeward Islands. TS Ana  has winds of 40 mph and is moving west @ 17 mph. TS Ana, for now, is scheduled to by 8 miles off Key between the 19th and 20th of August. For now TS Ana is the one we have to watch because it will get here faster than TS Bill, if it makes it this far. Models have been shifting south since the 11 AM advisory. Let's see if the trend continues. We should have a better idea of what will transpire on Monday night or Tuesday morning.

I will post an update tomorrow, but it will be at night.

Have a great weekend !!
