DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Fay was
located by an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft near
latitude 37.6 North, longitude 74.7 West. Fay is moving
toward the north near 10 mph (17 km/h). A northward to north-
northeastward motion at a faster forward speed is expected over the
next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of Fay is
forecast to move near the mid-Atlantic coast today and move inland
over the mid-Atlantic or the northeast United States late tonight
or on Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is forecast today and tonight while the
center remains over water. Weakening should begin after the center
moves inland.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
from the center. A Weatherflow station at Lewes, Delaware recently
reported a sustained wind of 33 mph (54 km/h) and a wind gust of 39
mph (63 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure based on aircraft data is
999 mb (29.50 inches).
