ORLANDO, Fla. — 5 p.m. update:
Sam has strengthened to a Category 4 Hurricane, with the latest track heading north and east, farther away from the Caribbean Islands.
Sam now a category 4 hurricane, but the good news is that the 5pm forecast track is shifted north and east, farther away from the northern Lesser Antilles Islands. Watching down the road to see if this could eventually move near Bermuda. pic.twitter.com/pKAfK6yzI5

According to the models this should stay off the U.S. East Coast, but we are still monitoring, especially for Bermuda and the Canadian coast line up north.
Teresa has degenerated into a remnant low.

It's still hurricane season and there are three disturbances and a fourth area of development (orange) in the Atlantic. Sam is a major hurricane - continues on a track that looks to stay north of the Lesser Antilles but we'll monitor. pic.twitter.com/bzZo6VfqOb

Even though it is powerful, it is staying on track, which is good news. If the pattern holds, it will pass to the north of the Lesser Antilles early this week.
