Bill has beefed up into a monster cat 4 storm. It's still not expected to hit any land, except Bermuda though. The latest recon found 150mph flight level winds in the eastern eyewall. The storm's wind field has also ballooned overnight, becoming quite huge today. Based on the satellite imagery, there still seems to be some dry air intrusion going on to the west, but that seems to be having very little effect on the health of the storm. W/o that, it might have been a 5 by now. Here be the stats:Location: 18.7N 56.3W
Moving: WNW @ 18mph
Winds: 135mph gusting to 160mph
Pressure: 950mb
Eye diameter: 35miles
Wind field radii-
Hurricane force winds: up to 80 miles out
TS winds: up to 185 miles out
