LOCATION
Latitude 27.5 North
Longitude 80.9 West
Translation: 45 miles SSW of Melbourne

MOVEMENT
Very little. In fact I have been watching the Melbourne Doppler loop for the last 30 minutes and I can detect little or no movement. I thought I saw a very short shift toward the east or SE, Can’t put much stock in that because it may be a temporary wobble. NHC predicts a NNE movement for the rest of tonight at about 6 mph and curving more toward the north tomorrow. Fay is expected to reach the ocean tomorrow.

WINDS
Sustained winds down a little to 60 mph,

RAIN
5 to 10 inches of rain for Central Florida with max amounts around 15 inches.

OTHER NOTES
She may weaken a little more tonight but should regain strength when she reaches open water. Isolated tornadoes are expected overnight over part of the East Central Florida area. A Tropical Storm Warning remains along the Florida East Coast from north of Jupiter Inlet to Flagler Beach and for Lake Okeechobee.

HURRICANE WATCH
Florida East Coast north of Flagler Beach to Altamaha Beach, Georgia.

This is going to be very, very, VERY interesting to watch.
