HURRICANE JIMENA UPDATE STRONGER WILL HANG AROUND LONGER

Not much has changed in HURRICANE JIMENA over the last day except location and a 5MPH increase in wind speed. HURRICANE JIMENA is still a very dangerous HURRICANE with sustained wind speeds at 140 MPH or 220 KPH with higher gusts.








HURRICANE JIMENA is moving WNW at approx 8 MPH or 13 KPH. The slower progression of HURRICANE JIMENA, when compared to the speeds of HURRICANE DANNY or BILL, make HURRICANE JIMENA more dangerous when she hits an area as HURRICANE force winds will hang around for longer.

HURRICANE JIMENA is expected to make a shift to the Nortwest then North North West over the next 48 hours. This PROJECTED PATH will bring HURRICANE JIMENA right up the Baja Coast into the southern tip of the California Baja Peninsula.














HURRICANE JIMENA and TS KEVIN UPDATE

The Western Atlantic and Hurricane Danny have calmed down abit and the Eastern Pacific is once again being ravaged by storms. Hurricane Jimena popped up over the last few days and is now threatening to hit the Baja Coast. This will be the first direct hit Hurricane for the Eastern Pacific, there were a few close

HURRICANE JIMENA SATELLITE IMAGE


calls, however those Hurricanes did manage to calm down a little before they got close to land.






HURRICANE JIMENA



At the present time, those in Western Mainland Mexico and the Southern California Baja Peninsula are being warned to keep an eye on HURRICANE JIMENA.

HURRICANE JIMENA is currently a CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE producing sustained winds of 135 MPH or 215 KM/HR with even higher wind gusts. The NOAA HURRICANE TRACKER WEATHER OFFICE is expecting HURRICANE JIMENA to strengthen substantially over the next 48 hours as she heads towards the southern Baja.

HURRICANE JIMENA PROJECTED PATH


HURRICANE force winds are extending 25 MILES or 35 KM from the eye of HURRICANE JIMENA and Tropical Storm Force winds up to 70 Miles or 110 KM from the eye. Although HURRICANE JIMENA seems like a small HURRICANE in width, she is still very dangerous, as you can see in the HURRICANE JIMENA PROJECTED PATH, the EYE OF HURRICANE JIMENA is expected to head right over the Southern Baja by Tuesday.






HURRICANE JIMENA will likely produce large swells and a substantial amount of damage to the southern California Baja. Stay tuned to Eye On the HurrIcane - Hurricane Tracker for LIVE WEB CAMERA's of the CALIfRONIA BAJA as HURRICANE JIMENA heads towards land.

TROPICAL STORM KEVIN



TS KEVIN is another active Eastern Pacific storm, however, unlike HURRICANE JIMENA, TS KEVIN is not expected to hit land and NOAA HURRICANE TRACKER officials are predicting TROPICAL STORM KEVIN will disipate over the water. TROPICAL STORM KEVIN is moving quite slow and is not expected to reach HURRICANE status.

TROPICAL STORM / HURRICANE DANNY UPDATE

With Tropical Storm TS Ignacio calming down further in the Pacific Ocean, we now have Tropical Storm TS Danny rapidly approaching Category 1 Hurricane Status. The eye of Hurricane Danny has reformed slightly farther north.








Maximum sustained winds being produced by TS Danny are currently at 60 MPH or 95 KPH with gusts approaching those of Hurricane status (over 75 MPH for Category 1). The NOAA Hurricane tracker office is warning those in The Caolina's north to New England should monitor TS Danny as he may very well beccome Hurricane Danny quite shortly.

Tropical Storm Danny is currently 370 Miles or 590 KM ENE of Nassau and approximately 575 Miles or 925 KM SSE of Cape Hatteras North Carolina. With a travelling speed of about 10 MPH with a Northwest heading, Tropical Storm Danny should be effecting any of those area's sometime today. NOAA Weather officials are predicting a Northward shift in direction for TS or Hurricane Danny later today. This shift in direction is what would bring TS or Hurricane Danny towards the Carolina's.






Tropical Storm Danny is expected to become Hurricane Danny by 2AM on Saturday morning when he is of the coast of the Carolina's. The eye of Hurricane Danny is expected to hit land on the South west Coast of Nova Scotia by 2AM Sunday morning. This will be the second Hurricane hit on the Atlantic Province of Nova Scotia this week.






A few days ago, Police were stationed by Peggy's Cove in attempts to ward off hurricane watchers who wanted to catch a glimpse of Hurricane Bill and the massive swells he was producing. EyeOnTheHurrIcane - Hurricane Tracker has several live webcams from Nova Scotia posted, including one of Peggy's Cove. Wherever Hurricane Danny hits land, and where available, you can be sure EyeOnTheHurricane - Hurricane Tracker will have live webcam feeds of Hurricane Danny.

HURRICANE BILL NOVA SCOTIA WEBCAMS and UPDATE


HURRICANE BILL is headed for a direct hit on Nova Scotia Canada. At the current time, HURRICANE BILL is hovering 95 Miles or 150 KM off Halifax Harbour. With Hurricane force winds extending 85 Miles or 140 KM from the eye of HURRICANE BILL 2009, it is not hard to see how Halifax and area's north of the provincial capital will be effected.





As mentioned, Hurricane Force winds of 85 MPH or 140 KPH are extending 85 Miles from the eye of HURRICANE BILL as it storms off the coast of Nova Scotia. HURRICANE BILL is currently heading North East at 33MPH or 54 KPH. HURRICANE BILL is currenty a Category 1 HURRICANE.

The Environment Canada Hurricane centre is predicting waves up to 8 meters will hit the eastern Nova Scotia seaboard today decreasing to 3 Meters after midnight.

The projected path of Hurricane Bill also brings it towards Newfoundland. Environment Canada Hurricane centre is predicting HURRICANE BILL wil further diminish by the time it hits Newfoundland.

The confederation bridge, the longest bridge in North America, which connects New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island will most likely be closed due to severe wind conditions.

HURRICANE BILL - NOVA SCOTIA HURRICANE WARNINGS

As HURRICANE BILL is moving north, Environment Canada has now issued a TROPICAL STORM WARNING for NOVA SCOTIA FROM CHARLESVILLE IN SHELBURNE COUNTY
EASTWARD TO ECUM SECUM IN HALIFAX COUNTY also FROM NORTH OF POINT ACONI WESTWARD TO TIDNISH AND FROM VICTORIA IN QUEEN COUNTY NORTHWARD TO LOWER DARNLEY IN PRINCE COUNTY PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND and FROM PARSONS POND AROUND THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF NEWFOUNDLAND TO ARNOLDS COVE

A HURRICANE WATCH has been issued in Nova Scotia FROM JUST EAST OF ECUM SECUM TO POINT ACONI.






HURRICANE BILL is still a Category 2 HURRICANE with sustained wind speeds of 100 MPH or 160KPH. HURRICANE FORCE winds are being recorded 85 Miles or 140 KM from the Eye of HURRICANE BILL.

Large swells generated by HURRICANE BILL are still hitting the Bahamas, Bermuda and approaching the SE Coast of the United States. Points further north up into the Atlantic Maritime Provinces of Canada will start to see large swells from HURRICANE BILL later today and through the weekend. Weather officials are continuing to warn individuals to stay out of the water as the swells from HURRICANE BILL will likely cause life threatening rip currents







There is no further major development in the possibility of the weather system currently following HURRICANE BILL. There has been some growth and it may in fact become Tropical Storm Danny.

Meanwhile, the weather system in the Eastern Pacific is getting a little stronger and is one step closer to becoming TROPICAL STORM HILDA which may lead to HURRICANE HILDA.







Stay tuned to the HTBW HURRICANE TRACKER for constant updates as HURRICANE BILL heads up the eastern seaboard. As webcamer's are available, HTBW HURRICANE TRACKER will post a number of HURRICANE WEB CAMERA's from the effected area's

HURRICANE BILL Moving towards New York, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland

HURRICANE BILL is making his way north up the New England Coast towards Nova Scotia and the Maritime provinces of Canada. High winds and large swells are expected to cause EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SURF AND LIFE-THREATENING RIP CURRENTS. Surfers are being warned to stay out of the water.






HURRICANE BILL has been downgraded to a Category 2 with maximum sustained HURRICANE FORCE wind speeds of 105 MPH or 165 KPH. HURRICANE BILL has decreased in size as well, HURRICANE FORCE WINDS are currently extending 115 Miles from the eye of HURRICANE BILL 2009, although TROPICAL FORCE WINDS are extending 275 Miles from the Eye of HURRICANE BILL. This is a slight increase over this morning when they were at 260 Miles from the eye of HURRICANE BILL.







Those living in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Conneticut, New York (particularly Long Island, the Hamptons and Montauk), Virgina, North Carolina and all point inbetween are being warned to keep an eye on weather reports as HURRICANE BILL will pass through their area's. The NOAA is warning, although HURRICANE BILL has been downgraded to a Category 2, he is still very dangerous and will cause substantial damage from high winds and tidal swells.

Surfers are also being warned to stay out of the high tidal waters regardless of how tempting HURRICANE BILL's massive waves are. Fact of the matter is, these waves are deadly and are filled with hidden dangers.







In the Eastern Pacific, HURRICANE TRACKERS are keeping an eye on three storms which are brewing off the Baja coast. At this time, these is a high probability of over 50% that one of these storms will develop into HURRICANE HILDA, or at the very least TROPICAL STORM HILDA.

In addition, a Tropical Depression is forming to the East of the Gulf of Mexico. If it continues to grow, HURRICANE BILL may very well be followed by TROPICAL STORM DANNY or HURRICANE DANNY.

Stay tuned to the HTBW HURRICANE TRACKER for constant updates as HURRICANE BILL heads up the eastern seaboard. As webcamer's are available, HTBW HURRICANE TRACKER will post a number of HURRICANE WEB CAMERA's from the effected area's

HURRICANE BILL 2009 GROWING IS SIZE

The latest HURRICANE TRACKER UPDATE on HURRICANE BILL 2009 has HURRICANE BILL growing in size. As of 8PM AST, HURRICANE BILL 2009 was producing HURRICANE FORCE WINDS up to 115 Miles or 185 KM from the eye of the HURRICANE. This is a substantial increase from the 45 Miles on yesterday's HURRICANE TRACKER UPDATE.

This morning, there was some indication HURRICANE BILL 2009 was letting up slightly as HURRICANE BILL moved down to a Category 3 HURRICANE. NOAA Officials warned this was merely temporary and they were right. This afternoon, HURRICANE BILL 2009 stengthened and is expected to regain his Category 4 Status by Friday.






At this time, HURRICANE BILL 2009 is producing HURRICANE FORCE WINDS sustained at 125 MPH or 205 KM/HR, as mentioned, these HURRICANE FORCE WINDS are extending 135 Miles from the eye of HURRICANE BILL 2009. Tropical Storm Force Winds are extending 260 Miles or 415 KM from the eye of HURRICANE BILL 2009 which when compared to the 175 Miles of yesterday should cause extreme concern for anyone on the Eastern Seaboard. HURRICANE BILL is the first Major Hurricane of 2009 that WILL CAUSE SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE.

Anyone in area's of risk are being warned to keep an eye on HURRICANE TRACKERS to ensure their safety. Once Again, HURRICANE BILL IS A SERIOUS HURRICANE and he will be causing some serious damage. According to reports, HURRICANE BILL will be effecting areas as far north as Atlantic Canada. Just to ease confusion, there is no HURRICANE BOB, the HURRICANE you are concerned about is HURRICANE BILL.







On the Pacific Coast, there is a tropical depression forming which may turn into TROPCIAL STORM HILDA, or even HURRICANE HILDA. At this point, weather officials are not raising the alarm, however weather during the HURRICANE SEASON can be very unpredictable.








Stay tuned to the HTBW HURRICANE TRACKER for constant updates as HURRICANE BILL heads up the eastern seaboard.

HURRICANE BILL HEADING FOR BERMUDA

Since our last HURRICANE BILL TRACKER UPDATE, HURRICANE BILL has been reduced to a Catagory 3 HURRICANE, although NOAA officials believe HURRICANE BILL will regain his Category 4 Status by Friday.









At this time, HURRICANE BILL 2009 has Maximum Sustained wind speeds of 120 MPH or 195 KPH. As mentioned, this is a decrease from the pervious HURRICANE BILL TRACKER UPDATE NOAA officials are stressing this is a short term decrease, as HURRICANE BILL wind gusts are higher that the actual sustained wind speed of HURRICANE BILL.

The projected path of HURRICANE BILL will bring the eye of HURRICANE BILL somewhere between the West Coast of Bermuda and the East Coast of the United States. HURRICANE BILL is stil being defined as a very large Tropical Cyclone and the NOAA is warning those in and around the projected path of HURRICANE BILL to keep an eye on the status of HURRICANE BILL via HURRICANE TRACKER updates.







The LEEWARD ISLANDS are currently experiencing the Large swells created by HURRICANE BILL and Large Swell warnings are in place for BAHAMAS, BERMUDA,
MOST OF THE EASTERN U.S. COAST, AND THE ATLANTIC MARITIMES OF
CANADA.

HURRICANE BILL LARGE TROPICAL CYCLONE

NOAA Weather office HURRICANE TRACKER officials are reitterating the extreme danger of HURRICANE BILL As of 5PM AST on Wednesday August 19th 2009, HURRICANE BILL was still a class 4 HURRICANE with HURRICANE FORCE WINDS near 135 MPH or 215 KPH with frequent wind gusts even higher.






HURRICANE TRACKERS indicate HURRICANE BILL 2009 is expected to increase in strength over the next few days and have classified HURRICANE BILL as a very Dangerous and large TROPICAL CYCLONE with HURRICANE force winds which are currently extending up to 85 Miles or 140 KM for the Eye of HURRICANE BILL. In addition, HURRICANE BILL is producing Tropical Force winds up to 230 Miles or 370 KM from the Eye of HURRICANE BILL 2009.







In addition to HURRICANE BILL expected to produce Large Swells for the Bermuda and NE Carribean Sea, it is anticipated Large swells will also hit portions of the East Coast of the United States with inland area's expected to feel the effects of HURRICANE BILL within the next few days.







Stay tuned to the HTBW HURRICANE TRACKER for constant updates and WEBCAM VIEWS as HURRICANE BILL heads up the eastern seaboard.

HURRICANE BILL VERY DANGEROUS - TRACKER NOAA UPDATE


The NOAA Weather Service has just upgraded HURRICANE BILL to a category 4 HURRICANE with sustained wind speeds of 135 MPH or 215 KM/Hr. According to the HURRICANE TRACKER, HURRICANE BILL is currently heading through the Leeward Islands and High wave warnings are in effect for the Leeward Islands, Bermuda and the South Eastern Coast of the United States.

At this point, it looks like the Florida Panhandle and Gulf of Mexico will be missed by HURRICANE BILL as the eye of HURRICANE BILL is expected to move more Northward aiming for the North central coast of the United States with a potential move towards South Eastern Canada.








There is a moderate change Tropical Force winds resulting from HURRICANE BILL will effect the entire Eastern seaboard of North America over the next few days, as HURRICANE BILL moves northward.

The chance of the eye of HURRICANE BILL reaching Canada is moderate but still there. At the current time, it looks like Nova Scotia is right on the path of HURRICANE BILL.

The NOAA Weather service is currently sending a NOAA HURRICANE HUNTER Aircraft into HURRICANE BILL to gather further information on the HURRICANE itself.






At this time, the NOAA WEATHER SERVICE HURRICANE TRACKER indicates HURRICANE FORCE WINDS are extending 45 Miles fromt he Eye of HURRICANE BILL and Storm Force winds are currently 175 Miles from the Eye of HURRICANE BILL

The NOAA Weather service has also issued a warning labelling HURRICANE BILL as a "Very Dangerous Hurricane." Indicating interests in the LEEWARD ISLANDS AND BERMUDA SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF HURRICANE BILL.

HURRICANE BILL 2009 TROPICAL STORM CLAUDETTE 2009 UPDATE

Puerto Rico, the Bahama's and the Florida panhandle are getting pummelled with Hurricane and tropical storm activity this week. With Ana subsiding, Tropical Storm Claudette has hit land and is now heading inward.

HURRICANE BILL 2009 is gathering strength over the atlantic and is heading towards Puerto Rico and Bermuda. As of 5AM AST, HURRICANE BILL 2009 was located approximately 1160 MILES / 1870 KM EAST OF THE LESSER ANTILLES. Maximum sustained winds of HURRICANE BILL 2009 have increased to 75 MPH or 120 KPH with HURRICANE FORCE WINDS stretching out 30 miles from the EYE OF HURRICANE BILL 2009 and Tropical storm force winds reaching as far as 145 Miles from the EYE OF HURRICANE BILL 2009.

HURRICANE BILL 2009 is expected to grow exponentially over the next few days to become a "MAJOR HURRICANE", according to the NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTRE NOAA.






Looking at a SATELLITE image of HURRICANE BILL 2009 and TROPICAL STORM CLAUDETTE, there is a definate overlap of Storm Force winds over the Bahama's and Peurto Rico. There are some sources referring to TROPICAL DEPRESSION CLAUDETTE as HURRICANE CLAUDETTE, perhaps those in the effected area's are feeling more like they are being hit by a HURRICANE. A current look at web camera's in Alabama and Florida show some cloud activity but a relative calm before the storm. Live Web Camera's from the Florida region can be found here HURRICANE FLORIDA LIVE WEBCAMERA'S







Stay tuned to HURRICANE TRACKER 2009 for up to date information on all the active storms.

Hurricane Guillermo has now subsided and is a mere blip on the map. Tropical Depression Ana is disapearing just as fast.
