Major differences between the GFS, Euro, and their ensembles for potential Hurricane Sam!

- Firstly, Peter and Rose are still tropical storms, but they will both be weakening and aren't a threat to land as even the remnants of Peter should pass east of Bermuda.

- As for Long Island, the forecast is below, but basically the cold front will be slowly approaching, so it will be warm and humid ahead of it with some light scattered showers with the main action with steadier rain probably being Thursday evening into Friday morning with some lingering showers in the afternoon with the front hopefully clearing Long Island by late afternoon on Friday. Highs will still be in the low 70's for the weekend with chillier air expected for the middle to end of next week.

- Regarding Invest 98L, which should become Tropical Storm Sam by the end of the week and then possibly a hurricane by early next week, the GFS and its ensembles favor an early turn to the north. However, the Euro and most of its ensemble members have it on more of a WNW track with the Euro bringing it over the Virgin Islands and northern Puerto Rico next week as a strong hurricane. Most of the ensemble members though keep it just north of there, and it seems like if it becomes a stronger hurricane, it would track a little farther north, even though that's not what the main Euro run is showing. I will have more updates today into tonight with the latest breaking info from the model runs. I've included the Euro ensembles map for the next 15 days (last image) exclusively here in the app.
