Tropical Depression Bill continued its slow movement over the South Central U.S. on Thursday and it brought rain to Arkansas and southern Missouri.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Thursday the center of Tropical Depression Bill was located at latitude 35.9\u00b0N and longitude 93.8\u00b0W which put it about 20 miles (30 km) east of Fayetteville, Arkansas.\u00a0 Bill was moving toward the east-northeast at 10 m.p.h. (16 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 20 m.p.h. (30 km\/h) and the minimum surface pressure was 1005 mb.<\/p>\n
Even thought the center of Bill has been over land for more than 48 hours, it retains many of the characteristics of a tropical cyclone.\u00a0 It has a well defined cyclonic circulation with a warm core in the middle troposphere and there is upper level divergence.\u00a0 As a result, Bill is still officially classified as a tropical depression.<\/p>\n
Bill is moving around the western end of a high pressure system centered over the Atlantic Ocean.\u00a0 It should continue to move toward the east-northeast during the next several days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Bill will bring rain to northern Arkansas and southern Missouri on Friday.\u00a0 It will move up the Ohio River Valley on Saturday and enhance the rainfall in those areas.\u00a0 The circulation of the tropical depression could merge with a nearly stationary frontal boundary north of the Ohio River during the weekend.\u00a0 Heavy rain falling on saturated ground could create the potential for flooding in some areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
