Hurricane Bill remains a Category 3 storm at press time Friday, with winds exceeding 125 mph. The large storm (with tropical storm-force winds extending 260 miles from its eye) could regain Category 4 strength later today, as it moves toward Bermuda.

Officials on the island have issued a tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch. The storm is expected to make landfall near Newfoundland or Nova Scotia (Canada) late Sunday as a Category 1 storm.
