000 WTNT31 KNHC 271438 TCPAT1 BULLETIN Tropical Depression Fay Advisory Number 30 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062026 300 PM GMT Sun Sep 27 2026 ...FAY DRIFTING SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD... SUMMARY OF 300 PM GMT...1500 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...29.3N 43.8W ABOUT 1135 MI...1825 KM WSW OF THE AZORES MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...35 MPH...55 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...SSE OR 160 DEGREES AT 3 MPH...6 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1010 MB...29.83 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 300 PM GMT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Fay was located near latitude 29.3 North, longitude 43.8 West. The depression is moving toward the south-southeast near 3 mph (6 km/h). A slow turn to the south-southwest to southwest is forecast on Tuesday followed by a turn toward the west-southwest with an increase in forward speed by mid-week. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast over the next several days. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1010 mb (29.83 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 900 PM GMT. $$ Forecaster Roberts

000 WTNT41 KNHC 271439 TCDAT1 Tropical Depression Fay Discussion Number 30 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062026 300 PM GMT Sun Sep 27 2026 This morning's GOES-19 Proxy-VIS satellite presentation indicates that Fay's cloud pattern has changed little since yesterday, and the TAFB subjective satellite intensity estimate supports 30 kt for this advisory. Modest northerly shear continues to impinge on the north side of the cyclone, displacing the small pulsating deep bursts of convection just to the south of the surface center. The GFS/ECMWF statistical SHIPS intensity guidance indicates little change in the shear pattern and magnitude and the thermodynamic environment through mid-week. Therefore, the NHC forecast shows Fay maintaining depression strength during the next few days. There is growing confidence due to deterministic and AI-single model agreement indicating that Fay will finally lose what little organized convection it has held onto, and eventually open up into a trough toward the end of the week. The official intensity forecast follows this scenario and is based on the aforementioned SHIPS and the HFIP HCCA guidance. Fay's initial motion is estimated to be south-southeastward, or 160/3 kt. Fay is forecast to move southwestward to west-southwestward around the southeastern peripheral low-level flow of a subtropical high located midway between Bermuda and the cyclone. A few of the deterministic models indicate slight strengthening of the aforementioned ridge early in the period. Therefore, a slight increase in forward speed is indicated in the NHC forecast beyond Tuesday, and this agrees with the better performing consensus models.
