QUICK INFO FROM NEW 11 AM EDT ADVISORY
LOCATION…15 miles ENE of Daytona Beach
MOVEMENT…Essentially none
SUSTAINED WINDS…60 mph (unchanged)
Miss Fay is still sitting out there over open water spinning around like a Merry-go-round with seemingly not a care in the world. She has been essentially stationary (little movement) for hours on end. She eventually start a westward jog, slowly, go back inland and move west across Extreme North Florida and the Florida Panhandle. Scroll down for a tracking map posted earlier.
Later this morning, we will post some specific forecasts for cities and towns that will feel Fay over the next several days and through the weekend. Now, I would like to post these spot reports and I have included some along the Alabama/NW Florida Coast to show that nothing is going on there (yet!)
