Once its maximum sustained winds reach 40 mph, it will become Tropical Storm Sam, the eighteenth named storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season.It's not yet clear if Sam will ever threaten land, but it will take its time.According to the latest computer forecast models, Sam may not reach the longitude of the Lesser Antilles until the middle of next week.
