Latest information on Tropical Storm Fay
Wed Aug 20 2008 @ 06:08 EDT
Tuesday 5:00 PM Update: Tropical Storm Fay has not weakened after it moved onto land over Florida. Because of this, the storm may intensify into a hurricane as it moves out into the Atlantic Ocean later this evening. A Hurricane Watch is now in effect from Flagler Beach, Florida north to Altamaha Sound, Georgia. A Tropical Storm Watch is now in effect from Altamaha Sound to the Georgia/South Carolina border.
Tropical Storm Fay, the sixth tropical storm of the 2008 Atlantic season, is approaching the mainland of Florida as of 5:00 PM Monday. The storm has moved very slowly through the Caribbean and Cuba, and only recently has it picked up speed as it moves North into a ridge of high pressure over the Southeastern United States. The mountainous terrain of Haiti and the Dominican Republic kept the storm from intensifying. However, the storm is now over very warm waters near the Florida Keys and could intensify before making another landfall on the Western Florida coast.
