Claudette is losing strength, but Bill is gaining.

Tropical Storm Claudette made landfall as a 50 mile per hour tropical storm late Sunday night near the east end of Santa Rosa Island, Florida, and will lose strength as it moves inland.   

Ana has also dissipated and is no longer a tropical depression. 

However, Hurricane Bill may become the first major hurricane of the Atlantic tropical season.

Bill reached hurricane strength Monday morning in the Central Atlantic, and is now located about 975 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. Bill has strengthened and maximum sustained winds are now at 90 mph. There is a chance that Bill could go through rapid intensification in the next 24 to 30 hours. Bill is forecast to become a major hurricane (category three or higher) in about 36 hours.

The forecast is for Bill to move west-northwest through the open tropical Atlantic over the next few days. The current forecast track calls for Bill to miss the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico to the north.

There’s a good chance that rough surf may impact the East Coast of the United States this weekend and early next week if Bill follows its current forecast path.
