Hurricane Bill Update
Hello to all…
It has been very busy here in New England as a squall line of severe thunderstorms developed yesterday with a Tornado Watch posted for portions of New England. Local Storm Report for the NWS Taunton County Warning Area follows below:

Hurricane Bill is still expected to pass offshore of Southeast New England but a bit closer than expected which means we could have tropical storm force conditions over Nantucket Island and the Outer Cape where a Tropical Storm Warning is in effect. Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings have been posted for portions of the Canadian Maritimes and a Hurricane Watch for Guysborough, Sydney Metro and Cape Breton Counties and Richmond County. Coordination with Radio Amateurs of Canada has already taken place and will continue.
The VoIP Hurricane Prep Net for this evening will be a modified net for preparations for Hurricane Bill over the Canadian Maritimes and for tropical storm force conditions over the Outer Cape and Nantucket Island later this evening and Sunday Morning. The VoIP Hurricane Net will be active tonight through Sunday Night for Hurricane Bill. Further details will follow in an activation announcement later today. We’ll continue to monitor the westward wobbles of Hurricane Bill for impact in Southeast New England.
