And he has his eye set on Nova Scotia. At least that's where the projected track is taking it. The same Nova Scotia which was ravaged by Hurricane Juan in 2003, hit hard by the extratropical storm formerly known as Noel in 2007 and Hurricane Kyle in 2008. If Bill hits, it will be the first time ever that a storm, while still being a Tropical System, makes landfall in Canada in back to back years (Kyle and Presumably Bill).
Bill's effects will first be felt in Bermuda on Saturday. The waves and Tropical Storm Force winds will strike the East Coast of the U.S. over the weekend. And Canadian Landfall should be Monday or Tuesday of next week, as a Strong Cat. 1 or weak Cat. 2.
Here is the latest on Bill:
Location: 17.2N, 53.4W (555 miles east of the Leeward Islands)
Winds: 125 mph (Category 3)
Movement: WNW at 15 MPH
Pressure: 952 mb
Forecast: Bermuda overnight Friday to Saturday, Nova Scotia Monday Morning (which is the 17 year anniversary of Hurricane Andrew's landfall)
