Fay to Florida?

We could soon be dealing with Tropical Storm Fay -- and perhaps eventually Hurricane Fay, maybe even Major Hurricane Fay -- potentially threatening the U.S. early next week. Check out, for instance, this scary computer-model projection for Tuesday morning:



That's just one model, and it's a five-day forecast, which is an eternity in forecasting terms. Still, it's a bit unnerving. That's a Category 4 hurricane, if you're wondering. As of now, however, the system is just a tropical wave -- but development seems imminent, and we could be looking at T.D. #6 or T.S. Fay later tonight or early tomorrow.

Track models are still very much in flux, so everybody from the Gulf Coast all the way up the East Coast should be keeping an eye on it... two eyes in Florida. Don't sleep on this thing over the weekend! It could be a big deal. (Of course, it could also fizzle.)
