She was centered very close to the Atlantic Coast in the general vicinity of Cap Canaveral. Movement was slowly northward at only 5 mph.
Radar loops in the last few minutes show that the heaviest rain was in spiral bands offshore. But those will be circulating onshore later.
Sustained wind down to 45 mph.
No Tornado Watches current as of 9:15 am but that too will probably change later.
The official track forecast from NHC turns Fay westward near or south of Jacksonville with the center then progressing across Extreme North Florida (Tallahassee, Fort Walton to name a couple of places) and then to near Mobile by late Sunday night. A tropical depression by that time but a TD is not timid when it comes to wetting down wide areas.
A new advisory by 10 am, CDT. We will post it in its entirety so you can see the latest watch/warning areas.
Also later this morning, we will post some specific forecasts for places to be affected, such as Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Tallahassee, Fort Walton/Destin and Alabama’s own Gulf Shores.
