The circulation around Tropical Depression Bill brought strong storms to the Lower Ohio River Valley on Friday.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Friday the center of Tropical Depression Bill was located at latitude 37.1\u00b0N and longitude 90.1\u00b0W which put it about 30 miles (50 km) west of Cape Girardeau, Missouri.\u00a0 Bill was moving toward the east-northeast at 15 m.p.h. (24 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 25 m.p.h., but there were higher gusts in thunderstorms.\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1004 mb.<\/p>\n
The circulation around Tropical Depression Bill retained enough tropical characteristics on Friday to be considered a tropical cyclone.\u00a0 There was still evidence of a warm core in the middle troposphere with a strong center of circulation at the surface and divergent outflow in the upper levels.\u00a0 Spiral bands of showers and thunderstorms continued to rotate cyclonically around the center, and some thunderstorms approached severe criteria.\u00a0 A stationary frontal boundary ran from New Jersey across Ohio to central Missouri.\u00a0 However, the circulation around the tropical depression was south of the boundary and it was clearly a distinct area of low pressure.<\/p>\n
Tropical Depression Bill is expected to continue its east-northeasterly motion during the weekend.\u00a0 It will pass south of Ohio on Saturday and cross New Jersey on Sunday.\u00a0 The tropical depression will continue to produce locally heavy rainfall and the potential for isolated severe thunderstorms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
