WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
 
 
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM GMT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Fay was
located near latitude 33.8 North, longitude 32.1 West. Fay is moving
very slowly toward the south-southeast near 2 mph (4 km/h). A 
faster motion to the southwest is anticipated during the next few 
days.
 
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 65 mph (100 km/h) 
with higher gusts. Continued weakening is forecast, and Fay could 
degenerate to a post-tropical cyclone in a day or two.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb (29.44 inches).

Tropical Storm Fay Discussion Number   8
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL062026
900 AM GMT Mon Sep 21 2026
 
Fay is now feeling the effects of strong vertical wind shear.
Satellite imagery indicates that the circulation has become
significantly vertical tilted, with the low-level center now well
north-northwest of the mid-level center. The initial intensity is
nudged down to 55 kt, which lies at the high end of the latest
satellite intensity estimates.
 
Continued strong northerly vertical wind shear, along with 
intrusions of dry air should cause Fay to steadily weaken over the 
next few days. In fact, simulated satellite images from the GFS and 
ECMWF models show deep convection completely dissipating within the 
next 24 hours due to the harsh atmospheric conditions. Based on the 
latest guidance and satellite trends, the new forecast calls for a 
faster rate of weakening, with the transition to a remnant low now 
expected by 48 hours and dissipation in 4-5 days. This forecast lies 
near the middle of the guidance envelope.
 
Fay appears to have turned southward at a slow pace, as expected, as 
the mid- to upper-level trough over the north Atlantic lifts out. A 
faster southwestward motion is forecast over the next few days as a 
low- to mid-level ridge becomes established to the northeast of the 
cyclone. This pattern should keep the system over the open Atlantic 
through dissipation later in the week. Little change was made to the 
previous track forecast, and this prediction is in best agreement 
with the Google DeepMind ensemble mean and HCCA.
