Yoshi_7 I don't think it'll impact your Area. However you will get some Big Waves.

It might hit Long Island. I don't think it'll be a major hurricane when it comes to the north, but it could still be a hurricane
Yeah. It's still far out so the Track will change. But yeah hitting Long Island is possible but Low. Has a higher chance at hitting Nova Scotia.
 
The Area of which Bill will be impacting is the area of uncertainty. Depending on both how strong the trough is that is moving towards the east, and how fast. If it comes earlier, it will be moved away, but if the trough is a slow mover, then it might scrape the North East. According to the projected paths that I have seen, land is in the part of the cone which meteorologists call, the cone of uncertainty. So it can go from almost to even striking directly onto eastern Maine, to off the coast of Nova Scotia. Though, it might not be a monster as it is now, due to the cooler than 79F waters north of the Bahamas. Since they are relatively cooler, than weakening will happen in the process. It will begin to speed up once it gets taken by the trough. You will just need to keep an eye out for it just in case the cone of uncertainty leads it directly into some land. It really has a 50 50 chance of hitting land.

You guys sure do seem to be intrigued by meteorology ;)
Actually, I would like to become an on camera meteorologist for The Weather Channel ;) I am so facinated of the weather.

Hurricane Bill weakened because of slightly drier air in its path. It will regain some strength as it continues on its path out of the drier air to the West-northwest and will begin to turn more to the northwest by later tomorrow.
 
Hurricane Bill is now a category 2 with center winds at 100mph. It has striken Bermuda earlier today and had some moderate damage. Bill is now is heading North at 23mph, and the Hurricane is getting larger. The Tropical Storm force winds extend about 275 miles from the center. Waves in the NorthEast are increasing and expected to top at around 10-15ft or even higher as this hurricane draws closer to the New England states, but won't make a direct landfall. The top bands of rain can now be seen offshore on the radar. It is following the track expected.
 
Hurricane Bill now is at top winds of 85mph. It's racing towards the North-Northeast at 26mph. It's expected to make landfall near Newfoundland, but could be downgraded to a Tropical Storm before it does. It's expected to remain a Tropical Storm after landfall. We'll see where it goes from there.
