6:39PM EDT Aug 20 Update Fay is gaining strength again, Recon just reported a minimum central pressure of 993mb, and a rather large "eye-like" feature sitting off the coast of Volusia county, slowly moving toward the north.
Rain is still the big story with Fay, including flooding rains in Melbourne that will be moving north overnight.
Original Update Tropical Storm Fay weakened overnight, but is now about to enter the Atlantic Ocean, at 8AM it's position was over the Banana river Between Kennedy Space Center and Canaveral Air Force Station, and is moving north back over the open Atlantic now.
There is a window for strengthening before heading back inland somewhere between Daytona Beach and Jacksonville, so Hurricane Watches remain up for the northern Florida coastline. It is expected to slowly move north over the rest of the evening.
The Northern Brevard Coastline (Which is mostly wild refuge), and the coasts of Volusia and Flagler counties will see the worst of it today.
We have a few discussion threads going on Fay, if you would like to discuss Fay's possible impact on Florida, check out here, if you want to let people what you think, or have a gut feeling, or want to shoot the breeze on Fay do that in the Fay forecast Lounge Want to let us know about conditions in your area, any closings, notices, or evacuations, let pass it along in this area. This is done to attempt more order during the flood of information (both good and bad) that will come over the next few days. The main comments are usually for discussion of what the storm is doing now, or will likely be short term.
Elsewhere in the tropics a wave in the central Atlantic (94L) may become a depression in the next few days, but it has become less likely.
Please pay attention to local media and officials in your area as the storm approaches. As of 2PM Fay is still a Tropical Storm. For state information, check out the local NWS advisories on the top of the main page and Floridadisaster.org.
