In the Tropics:

While there is activity in the Atlantic basin, none of it is a threat to the local area.

Hurricane Sam is holding on to category 2 status. Winds are currently at 105 mph and is moving northeast at 30 mph. Sam is expected continue into the north Atlantic. 

Victor is now a tropical depression with winds near 30 mph and is moving west-northwest at 14 mph. It is expected to fizzle out in the next day or so.  

A large area of disorganized cloudiness and showers continues over the southeastern Bahamas and adjacent southwestern Atlantic waters in association with a surface trough. Upper-level winds are not expected to be especially conducive, and any development of this system should be slow to occur while it moves slowly northwestward through late this weekend. There is a 20% chance of formation over the next 5 days.
