Tropical Storm Fay Doesn't Quite Reach Hurricane Strength; Weakens
- Tropical Storm Fay is weakening over the northern Atlantic Ocean, with the National Hurricane Center expecting the system to degenerate into a post-tropical remnant low by Tuesday. The storm poses no threat to land.
- Fay formed early Sunday southwest of the Azores, but strong northerly vertical wind shear and intrusions of dry air are tearing the system apart, preventing it from reaching hurricane strength.
- Maximum sustained winds have decreased to 50 mph, with a minimum central pressure of 1000 mb. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles from the center, as the storm continues its slow path.
- Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical wave forecast to move off the coast of Africa by Wednesday. Forecasters give the system a 30% chance of developing over the next 7 days.
- Marking the longest start without a hurricane in the satellite era, this slow Atlantic hurricane season has yet to produce a hurricane. Meteorologists continue tracking atmospheric conditions as the season typically remains active through mid-October.
