Sam, Victor Forecast To Remain Over The Atlantic, Stay Away From Gulf

Hurricane Sam and Tropical Storm Victor are forecast to remain over the Atlantic and well away from land.

Swells generated by Hurricane Sam remain its biggest threat, along with the possibility of tropical storm conditions impacting Bermuda, which is now under a tropical storm watch.

Tropical Storm Victor is forecast to remain just under hurricane strength, but the National Hurricane Center says there is a chance the system could reach that status before moving into an area of unfavorable conditions for further development.

The NHC also says an trough of low pressure in the tropical Atlantic now is not expected to develop further.
