Friday AM Tropical Update: Hurricane Sam still Cat 4, one left in list of storm names

There are no tropical threats to the Gulf of Mexico.

Hurricane Sam continues to churn over the open Atlantic as a major hurricane. It is forecast to remain a major hurricane through the weekend. It will curve north around a ridge of high pressure and stay well northeast of the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean Sea. It will likely pass east of Bermuda this weekend. A tropical storm watch has been issued for Bermuda.

Sam is doing his job - burning off some of that ACE without hurting anyone.
