Based on current information and analysis, the forecast track of hurricane Sam places the system sufficiently north of the area to spare the islands Tropical Cyclone wind impacts; as a result, the system poses a very low threat to the islands at this time. Notwithstanding, it is also necessary to mention that given the dynamic nature of tropical cyclones, shifts in the forecast track are possible which could bring the system closer to the area and resulting in an increased threat of tropical cyclone impacts to the islands. For this reason, residents and interests in the Leewards and BVI are urged to continue to closely monitor the progress of this potentially dangerous system.
