Re: Could Fay turn into a Charley?

There are some BIG differences between Fay/Charlie...
Fay is a much larger (size not strength).
Charlie crossed Cuba as a cat3 weakened upon crossing then ramped up quickly because it was a very SMALL storm (size again not strength). I doubt Fay will be even a Cat1 crossing Cuba (all depends on time over water and organization). Larger storms take longer to ramp up and to organize. Fays got a long way to go
