  4. CENTER OF FAY NEAR CAPE CANAVERAL • At 800 am EDT...1200z...The center of tropical storm Fay was located near latitude 28.5 north...Longitude 80.6 west or very near Cape Canaveral Florida. • Fay is moving toward the north near 5 mph, 7 km/hr, and this motion is expected to continue today. A gradual turn toward the northwest is forecast during the next 12 to 24 hours and Fay is likely to remain near or over the east-central and northeastern Florida coast through Thursday. • Data from a reconnaissance plane and surface observations indicate that the maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 45 mph, 70 km/hr, with higher gusts. These winds are occurring mostly over water well to the east of the center. Some gradual restrengthening is possible during the next 24 hours before Fay moves back inland over northeastern Florida on Thursday. • Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 140 miles...220 km from the center.

Accumulations of 3 to 5 inches are possible in the northwestern Bahamas. • Storm tides of 1 to 3 feet above normal are possible along the east coast of Florida to the north of the center of Fay. • Isolated tornadoes are possible over portions of northeastern Florida.
