Tropical Storm Fay 2008 – A tropical depression quickly became Tropical Storm Fay 2008 over the Dominican Republic and could be Hurricane Fay by the time it hits Florida.
The latest Tropical Storm Fay 2008 projected path places the storm off Florida’s west coast while rapidly gaining hurricane strength in the Gulf of Mexico’s warm waters.
National Hurricane Center: Tropical Storm Fay 2008
THE FORECAST TRACK CALLS FOR FAY TO CROSS LARGE PORTIONS OF HISPANIOLA AND CUBA…WHICH SHOULD LIMIT INTENSIFICATION.
SIGNIFICANT STRENGTHENING IS EXPECTED WHEN THE CENTER EMERGES FROM THE NORTH COAST OF CUBA…ALTHOUGH IT IS UNCERTAIN HOW WELL ORGANIZED THE STORM WILL BE AT THAT TIME.
THE INTENSITY FORECAST FOR TROPICAL STORM FAY 2008 WILL CALL FOR A PEAK INTENSITY OF 60 KT…AND THERE IS ABOUT A 30 PERCENT CHANCE THAT FAY COULD BECOME A HURRICANE AT THAT TIME.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ANY DEVIATIONS FROM THE FORECAST TRACK THAT ALLOW FAY MORE TIME OVER WATER WOULD RESULT IN A STORM STRONGER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.
And that’s the latest update on Tropical Storm Fay 2008.
