Here's a Picture of Guillermo a Strong Cat 3 hurricane.

Edit: Sorry it's so big.

Climatologically, hurricanes thrive when what's called " upper level wind shear" is as its weakest. Basically, strong winds aloft have the potential to tear hurricanes apart and deter their formation - it's forecasted that the El Nino Southern Oscillation could create a shift in the climate so that wind shear is strengthened over the Atlantic thus deterring hurricane formation- so it's forecasted that we could have a slightly below average hurricane season.
 
Final report on TD Claudette has been written. Low is in Alabama.

Ana is to remain a Depression and move west-nothwest. It's expected to weaken while it moves through the mountainous regions of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

Bill is a hurricane at around 100mph sustained winds. The projected path leads it heading into the uncertainty. Either scraping the East coast, or turning towards open seas and to Bermuda.
 
Wow~! That's an impressive snap shot of the organization and immensity of this powerful storm.
BTW, the strongest portion of the hurricane is the upper-right quadrant and remember that even if it does move and hit Nova Scotia or the New England Area,
it will have to traverse cooler waters of the NORTH atlantic- so although you'd still bear the brunt, it likely wouldn't be a Hurricen 4 or maybe not even a 3

You guys sure do seem to be intrigued by meteorology ;)
