Fay forms, US updates
Fay formed on Friday evening and although it originally was supposed to head up the Atlantic, plans have changed and it now looks like a Gulf Coast storm.
As of 5 AM, A Tropical Storm Watch was posted for Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef, or Palm Beach, Broward, and the east coast of Miami-Dade County. Also, a TS Watch was issued for Glades, Hendry, Martin, Palm Beach and Okeechobee Counties along the coast of Lake Okeechobee. A Hurricane Watch was posted for Ocean Reef to Key West, or the Florida Keys (Monroe County), and Card Sound Bridge to Bonita Beach (Collier, mainland Monroe & the south coast of Miami-Dade).
As of 11 AM, the Hurricane Watch was extended to Anna Maria Island, which added Lee, Charlotte, Sarasota & Manatee Counties. A Tropical Storm Warning was posted for the lower keys, from the Dry Tortuga to Craig Key.
At 5 PM, the Hurricane Watch was extended to Tarpon Springs, including Pinellas & Hillsborough Counties, the Tampa Bay metro area.
At this point, it looks like landfall near Steinhatchee (the big bend area) on the Florida Panhandle around noon on Wednesday. This is after it passes by Key West some time on Monday, maybe as a hurricane by that point. However, It should be up to Augusta late next week, maybe by Thursday afternoon.
Bottom line, it's going to hit Florida at some point this week, but that could be anywhere from Naples by midnight tomorrow all the way to Destin Wednesday afternoon.
