In the tropics, Hurricane Sam is finally weakening.  At 5 am, Sam was located near 37.3 North, 55.9 West, about 665 miles south-southwest of Cape Race, Newfoundland.  Maximum sustained winds were 105 miles per hour, and Sam was moving northeast at 17 miles per hour.  Sam is expected to transition into a strong post tropical low in a day or so.

Elsewhere, Victor is now a tropical depression in the open Atlantic and is expected to become a remnant low on Monday.

And we’re keeping an eye on a new feature — a trough east of the southeastern Bahamas that’s producing plenty of showers.  While this feature has a low chance of developing during the next five days, we’ll keep an eye on it because it’s near our neighborhood.
