000 WTNT31 KNHC 272037 TCPAT1 BULLETIN Tropical Depression Fay Advisory Number 31 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062026 900 PM GMT Sun Sep 27 2026 ...FAY BARELY A TROPICAL CYCLONE... SUMMARY OF 900 PM GMT...2100 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...28.9N 44.0W ABOUT 1160 MI...1870 KM WSW OF THE AZORES MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...35 MPH...55 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...S OR 180 DEGREES AT 5 MPH...7 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1011 MB...29.86 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 900 PM GMT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Fay was located near latitude 28.9 North, longitude 44.0 West. The depression is moving toward the south near 5 mph (7 km/h). A south-southwest to southwest motion is expected over the next couple of days, followed by a turn toward the west-southwest with an increase in forward speed by mid-week. Maximum sustained winds remain near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Fay will likely become a remnant low in a day or two, and dissipate later in the week. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1011 mb (29.86 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 300 AM GMT. $$ Forecaster Cangialosi

000 WTNT41 KNHC 272038 TCDAT1 Tropical Depression Fay Discussion Number 31 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL062026 900 PM GMT Sun Sep 27 2026 Fay is barely a tropical cyclone. The system basically consists of a swirl of low-level clouds with a patch of sheared and disorganized convection located more than 60 n mi south-southwest of the center. The initial wind speed is held at 30 kt, in general agreement with the latest satellite intensity estimates. Moderate wind shear and stable air should cause convection to pulse, but it will likely have a hard time organizing and persisting near the center over the next few days. Based on the expected environmental conditions and current structure, the system is now forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone by 36 hours, but that transition could occur much sooner if organized deep convection does not return. Regardless of this system's status, little change in strength is expected during the next few days until it dissipates later this week. Fay has been moving slowly southward over the past several hours, and a slow southward to southwestward motion in the low-level flow is expected over the next few days. The global models show the system degenerating into a trough in 3 to 4 days, and that is reflected in this forecast.
