Ana, Bill, and Claudette

Very quickly, we've gotten very active in the Atlantic.



Just in the last 24 hours, since my last post, we've seen Bill strengthen and overtake Ana as the dominant storm in the central Atlantic, and just this morning, Claudette has formed off the Florida panhandle - with landfall expected this afternoon.

But there is good news embedded in here. Ana has failed to strengthen as much as was forecast yesterday - and will likely weaken as it enters the Caribbean in the next couple days. Bill - though continuing to strengthen, likely to major hurricane status early next week - is trending rightward, meaning, it may miss the Caribbean/United States entirely. And Claudette - if given an extra 24 hours, would likely have become a landfalling hurricane.

Stay tuned everyone, and please stay prepared if you are in the path of any of these storms.
