At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Sam was located by
an Air Force Reserve Unit Hurricane Hunter aircraft near latitude
17.9 North, longitude 55.0 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. A turn
toward the north is forecast by Friday. On the forecast track, Sam
will pass well to the east or northeast of the northern Leeward
Islands through Wednesday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher
gusts. Sam is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
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 140 miles (220 km).
The minimum central pressure estimated from Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft observations is 947 mb (27.97 inches).
