Bill's Forecast Track Still Uncertain

Hurricane Bill is currently moving WNW along the southern periphery of a broad region of high pressure over the central Atlantic. As Bill nears the east coast it will be nudged northward by a trough of low pressure moving through the eastern US. The timing and southern extent of this trough will be critical in determining the exact track of Bill, and the various hurricane models are having a difficult time predicting how the hurricane and the trough will interact. While the odds still favor Bill staying out to sea, an east coast landfall is not yet out of the question.
