By Lisa Zahner1 a.m. Sunday, August 16ATLANTIC OCEAN — Tropical storms Ana and Bill are moving along their predicted courses, but did not intensify since the 5 p.m. advisory.The storms have similar wind speeds and forward movement now, but their predicted paths and strengths are very different. Ana is expected to remain a tropical storm, while Bill is being touted to ramp up to wind speeds higher than 110 mph in a few days.At 11 p.m., tropical storm Ana was located near latitude 14.4 north and longitude 51.5 west and had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph with 50 mph gusts. It is moving westward at 17 mph and has a minimum barometric pressure of 1004 millibars (29.64 inches). Intensification is not expected in the next 24 hours. Ana’s forecast track has it moving south of Florida near Cuba and the Florida Straits, possibly impacting the Florida Keys as a tropical storm.Tropical storm Bill was located near latitude 11.3 north and longitude 36.6 west and had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph with 50 mph gusts. It is moving westward at 16 mph and has a minimum barometric pressure of 1004 millibars (29.64 inches). Bill is predicted to gradually gain strength and become a hurricane on Tuesday and Vero Beach is still in the cone of error of Bill, though the system is expected to take a northerly turn early next week and possibly causing a threat to Georgia or the Carolinas, but probably not to Florida.Invest 90 has still not developed into a tropical depression, but its loosely formed area of low pressure has maximum sustained winds of 35 mph. Invest 90 has been given a high chance of strengthening.There is a fourth tropical low, called Invest 91, being watched in the Gulf of Mexico, the chances of that storm affecting the Treasure Coast are very slim.The next advisory from the National Hurricane Center will be at 5 a.m.
