WEATHER HURRICANE SAM CAT 4 NEXT WEEK

Hurricane Sam is now inbound, slowing down, getting stronger as it moves possibly closer to the islands. It may curve north, or head through the islands, or head towards the US east coast. It will be another 5 days before its possible trajectory, say weds, becomes clearer. Still, a cat 4 is nothing to ignore until you are sure it hooks north back out into the atlantic ocean.
It is the 18th named storm. It is a MAJOR hurricane.

"Hurricane Sam" as a name just does not sound very dramatic or threatening.

"Yeah, I made it through Sam back in the day..."

Sam To Become Major Hurricane Today

Hurricane Sam has rapidly strengthened from a tropical storm over the Atlantic Basin and is slated to become a major hurricane Saturday as it traverses over warm 84-degree water, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
Sam is the 18th named one of the hurricane season and has maximum sustained winds of 110 mph, classifying it as a Category 2 hurricane. NHC expects the storm to become a Category 3 storm on Saturday and then a Category 4 hurricane Sunday.
No coastal watches or warnings are in effect as Sam moves west at 14 mph about 1,300 miles east-southeast of the northern Leeward Islands.

The storm's path remains uncertain as spaghetti models show disagreement: One model shows the storm could shift northeast and become a non-issue for the US, and the other shows it could come close to South Florida, according to BocaNewsNow.

Elsewhere in the Atlantic, another tropical disturbance could develop off the coast of Africa in the coming days. The development of this system could occur by the middle of next week.
More certainly of Sam's path should be known by the end of the weekend.

Sam is now a category 4 hurricane early Sunday morning. Bermuda is very much under threat weds to friday.

The leeward islands are also likely get outer rain bands, along with riptides and beach erosion etc.
