Hurricane Bill

Bill's forecast track

Hurricane Bill continues to gain strength in the Atlantic.  As long as our ridge of high pressure breaks down and a deep trough of low pressure swings over the East Coast by the weekend, we should be in the clear.  Any delay could cause Bill’s track to shift slightly westward toward Cape Cod, MA.  However, for now, it just looks like big waves and a high threat for rip currents at the beaches this weekend.  Stay safe!  We’ll keep you posted.
