DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Fay was
located near latitude 38.8 North, longitude 74.5 West. Fay is moving
toward the north near 12 mph (19 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 New Jersey coast this afternoon and
evening and move inland over the mid-Atlantic and northeast United
States tonight and Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is forecast today while the center remains
over water. Weakening should begin after the center moves inland,
and Fay is expected to weaken to a tropical depression by early
Saturday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
from the center. A Weatherflow site at Lewes, Delaware, recently
reported a sustained wind of 41 mph (67 km/h) and a wind gust of 53
mph (86 km/h). Another Weatherflow station at Seaside Heights, New
Jersey, recently reported a sustained wind of 37 mph (59 km/h) and a
wind gust of 46 mph (74 km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure based on data from an Air
Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft is 998 mb (29.47 inches).
