WPB‑25 meteorologists are monitoring Tropical Depression Fay as it loses strength in the Atlantic. The system, once a tropical storm, is now classified as a tropical depression with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph.
Current location and movement
According to the latest advisory issued at 11 a.m. UTC, Fay is situated roughly 645 miles southwest of the Azores archipelago. The system is moving southwest at a speed of about 10 mph.
Forecast outlook
The National Hurricane Center predicts that Fay will continue to weaken and is expected to become a post‑tropical cyclone later today. A post‑tropical cyclone is a system that has lost its tropical characteristics but can still produce strong winds and heavy rain.
What residents should expect
Although Fay is now a tropical depression, it can still generate gusty winds, rough seas, and scattered showers. Mariners in the central Atlantic should stay alert to changing conditions and follow any advisories issued by the U.S. Coast Guard.
For those on the Azores islands, the system’s distance reduces the likelihood of significant impacts, but local authorities will continue to monitor the storm and issue updates as needed.
Stay informed
WPB‑25 will provide ongoing coverage of Fay’s progress. Viewers can follow the latest updates on air, online, or through the WPB‑25 News app, which offers real‑time weather alerts.
Residents are encouraged to review emergency preparedness plans, secure outdoor items, and stay tuned to official sources for any changes in the storm’s trajectory or intensity.
