LOCATION...36.7N 69.8W
ABOUT 335 MI...540 KM ENE OF CAPE HATTERAS NORTH CAROLINA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...45 MPH...75 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...NE OR 55 DEGREES AT 23 MPH...37 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1003 MB...29.62 INCHES
WATCHES AND WARNINGS

There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Bill was
located near latitude 36.7 North, longitude 69.8 West. Bill is
moving toward the northeast near 23 mph (37 km/h), and this general
motion is expected through Wednesday with increasing forward speed.
Satellite-derived wind data indicate that the maximum sustained
winds have increased to near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some additional strengthening is possible on Tuesday, however the
system is expected to become a post-tropical low and dissipate on
Wednesday.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).

Tropical Storm Bill Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL022021
1100 PM AST Mon Jun 14 2021
Deep convection has increased in a cluster to the northeast of the
estimated center. Scatterometer measurements showed a couple of
40-41 kt vectors over the southeastern quadrant of the cyclone. On
this basis, the estimated intensity is increased to 40 kt, which
makes this the second tropical storm of the season, albeit a rather
high-latitude one. The system is in an environment of fairly
strong southwesterly shear, but the diffluent upper-level flow has
apparently contributed to some strengthening in a seemingly hostile
environment. Some additional short-term strengthening could occur
but by 36 hours, the cyclone should merge with a baroclinic zone
while approaching Newfoundland and become extratropical. This
transition is also shown by the FSU cyclone phase analyses of the
GFS model fields.
Bill is moving fairly swiftly northeastward, or 055/20 kt. The
track forecast appears to be straightforward. The flow ahead of a
large mid-tropospheric trough near the United States east coast
should accelerate the system northeastward for the next day or two,
and until the system dissipates. The NHC track forecast is similar
to the previous one and not far from the model consensus.
