...TROPICAL STORM FAY STRENGTHENS AS IT MOVES TOWARDS THE
NORTHEAST...
SUMMARY OF 300 PM GMT...1500 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...34.1N 33.0W
ABOUT 430 MI...690 KM SW OF THE AZORES
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...60 MPH...95 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...NE OR 40 DEGREES AT 3 MPH...6 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1004 MB...29.65 INCHES
WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 300 PM GMT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Fay was
located near latitude 34.1 North, longitude 33.0 West. Fay is moving
toward the northeast near 3 mph (6 km/h) and this motion is expected
to continues through the rest of the day. Afterwards a turn to the
southwest is expected on Monday.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 60 mph (95 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is expected during the
next day or so, and Fay could approach hurricane intensity tonight.
A gradual weakening trend is expected to begin on Monday.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches).

Tropical Storm Fay Discussion Number 5
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062026
300 PM GMT Sun Sep 20 2026
Deep convection continues to build near the center of Fay over the
last several hours. The current objective intensity estimates from
UW-CIMSS are in the range of 39-52 kt, and the most recent TAFB
Dvorak fix was a T3.0/45 kt. In addition, there was an ASCAT pass
that showed a peak wind vector of 43 kt. Given the uncertainties
due to undersampling, the initial intensity for the storm has been
raised to 50 kt. The cyclone continues to remain very compact with
its tropical-storm-force winds estimated to extend out to about 40
n mi.
Both a relatively moist environment and positive interactions
with an approaching mid- to upper-level trough should allow Fay to
further intensify for the next 12 to 24 hours. After the trough
lifts on Monday, the increase in wind shear and dry air should lead
to a gradual weakening of the cyclone. The current NHC forecast
calls for Fay to become a post-tropical remnant low by Tuesday and
then dissipate by the end of the week. The official intensity
forecast is a little higher than the model guidance in the short
term to account for the storm's structure being more improved and
the expected baroclinic support from the trough. This small system
could approach hurricane strength later today or tonight.
Fay is slowly moving off to the northeast, with the initial motion
estimated around 010/5 kt. This general motion should continue for
the rest of the day. However, a low- to mid-level ridge is expected
to build to the north of the storm by Monday, which will cause Fay
to turn southwestward and gradually accelerate in that direction
over the course of the forecast period. The current NHC track
forecast is similiar to the previous track forecast with a few
minor adjustments and remains in good agreement with HCCA and
GDMI.
