Hurricane Bill is shaping up to be a surfer’s dream on the Outer Banks.
Hurricane Bill became a Category 4 storm with top sustained winds near 135 mph early Wednesday, and forecasters said it could get even stronger as it builds over the open Atlantic.
Early Wednesday, Bill was centered about 460 miles east of the Leeward Islands and moving west-northwest near 16 mph. The hope is that Bill will move directly between Bermuda and the eastern coast of the U.S. without making landfall.
The OBX can expect significant wave swells and rip currents in the next few days. Strong caution is advised due to rough surf. Please review rip current preparedness.
