Sam, the season's seventh named hurricane, strengthened over open Atlantic Ocean waters on Friday.
People living on the East Coast have been warned to keep a close eye on the path of Hurricane Sam, as forecasters say models that show it will likely miss the U.S. could change in the coming days.
At 5 a.m. ET on Friday, Sam was located around 1,470 miles east-southeast of the Leeward Islands and 2,673 miles east of West Palm Beach, Florida. The strengthening system follows a west to west-northwest path across the central Atlantic but AccuWeather forecasters said it was not certain where it might go. Bermuda, the Bahamas, the U.S. East Coast and Atlantic Canada could all be in the firing line.
