National Hurricane Centre Forecaster Brown 5am Advisory.

At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Sam was located near latitude 18.9 North, longitude 56.2 West. Sam is moving toward the northwest near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this general motion with an increase in forward speed is expected during the next couple of days.ย  A turn toward the north is forecast by Friday.ย  On the forecast track, Sam will pass well to the east and northeast of the northern Leeward Islands through tonight.

Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that the maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher gusts.ย  Sam is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.ย  Some fluctuations in intensity are expected during the next couple of days, but Sam is forecast to remain a major hurricane through late this week.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km).

The latest minimum central pressure estimated from reconnaissance aircraft data is 950 mb (28.06 inches).
