It's good to know I'm not the only St. Augustine surfer on this forum. Bring on the swell Fay!!

TROPICAL STORM FAY DISCUSSION NUMBER 6
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL072014
1100 AM AST SAT OCT 11 2014

Tropical Storm Fay made the transition to a tropical cyclone around
0600 UTC based on AMSU and other satellite data that arrived after
the previous advisory was released. An Air Force Reserve
reconnaissance aircraft confirmed this transition had occurred, when
it made a pass through the northwestern and northern quadrants
indicating that the radius of maximum wind had decreased to about 40
n mi. A blend of satellite intensity estimates, flight-level surface
wind conversions, and reliable SFMR surface winds support increasing
the intensity to 60 kt. The latest center dropsonde data suggests a
central pressure of about 991 mb.

The initial motion estimate is 355/14. Other than the center
redeveloping a little farther west and closer to the deep
convection, the overall track forecast and reasoning remains
unchanged form the previous advisory. Fay is expected to continue to
move northward and then northeastward around the western periphery
of a strong mid-level ridge for the next 24 hours or so, and then
recurve into the mid-latitude westerlies with an increase in
forward speed by 36 hours. The official track forecast closely
follows the multi-model consensus TVCN.

The strength and direction of the current vertical wind shear is
forecast to remain unchanged for the next 24 hours, so no change in
intensity indicated during that time. By 36 hours, the shear is
forecast to increase to more than 40 kt from the southwest, which
should induce a weakening trend until the cyclone is absorbed by a
strong cold front in about 48 hours.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 11/1500Z 27.9N 65.3W 60 KT 70 MPH
12H 12/0000Z 30.1N 65.2W 60 KT 70 MPH
24H 12/1200Z 33.0N 62.7W 60 KT 70 MPH
36H 13/0000Z 35.3N 58.0W 55 KT 65 MPH
48H 13/1200Z...ABSORBED BY FRONTAL SYSTEM

Almost a hurricane! Can it make it before conditions become unfavourable?

Of course, recon always find something stronger in the atlantic despite their looks...

ADT only at 35 knots and Dvorak at 3.0 = 45 knots...

Maybe we can safely say Vongfong peaked near 170 knots then :lol:

For some reason, Dvorak seems to be way off in the Atlantic this year. It might have a chance at becoming a hurricane but likely would need to be this afternoon or evening.

As far as this becoming a hurricane, unless it presently is and is found to be one when the plane gets there, it's missed it's chance as the shear already seems to be increasing as the clouds are starting to separate slightly from the center.

TROPICAL STORM FAY ADVISORY NUMBER 7
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL072014
500 PM AST SAT OCT 11 2014

...FAY MOVING QUICKLY NORTHWARD...
...HURRICANE WATCH ISSUED FOR BERMUDA...


SUMMARY OF 500 PM AST...2100 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...29.5N 65.4W
ABOUT 195 MI...315 KM S OF BERMUDA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...70 MPH...110 KM/H

TROPICAL STORM FAY DISCUSSION NUMBER 7
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL072014
500 PM AST SAT OCT 11 2014

Tropical Storm Fay remains a sheared tropical cyclone with deep
convection persisting in the northwestern quadrant. A 1442 UTC
ASCAT-B overpass indicated several 50-52 kt surface wind vectors in
the northeastern and northwestern quadrants, and buoy 41936 measured
a pressure of 990.2 mb a few hours ago when the center passed just
to its west. The initial intensity is being maintained at 60 kt for
this advisory given that the buoy pressure was similar to the last
recon reported surface pressure, and assuming that there is some
undersampling by the ASCAT instrument. An Air Force Reserve
reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the cyclone
around 0000 UTC this evening.

The initial motion estimate is 360/16 kt, based in large part on
scatterometer and microwave satellite fixes. Fay is expected to
continue moving northward around a deep-layer ridge this evening,
and then turn toward the north-northeast by 0600 UTC, passing just
to the southeast of Bermuda at that time. However, only a slight
deviation to the west of the forecast track would bring the center
and core of strongest winds very close to or even over Bermuda, and
for that reason the Bermuda Weather Service has issued a hurricane
watch for the island. By 24 hours, Fay is expected to get caught up
in the mid-latitude westerlies and recurve rapidly to the northeast
or east-northeast before it merges with a frontal system by 48
hours. The new NHC guidance has again shifted a little to the left,
and the official forecast track has been shifted slightly westward
through 12 hours, and closely follows the multi-model consensus
TVCN.

Overall, there is no significant change to the previous intensity
forecast or reasoning. However, the current south-southeasterly
vertical wind shear of 32 kt is forecast by the GFS-based SHIPS
model to decrease to around 25 kt from the south-southwest in 12-18
hours, which could allow for some slight strengthening during the
convective maximum period around 0600 UTC tonight, and it is
possible that Fay could briefly reach hurricane status. After 24
hours, the wind shear is forecast to increase to more than 40 kt
from the southwest, which should induce a weakening trend up until
the time that Fay merges with a strong frontal system by 48 hours.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 11/2100Z 29.5N 65.4W 60 KT 70 MPH
12H 12/0600Z 31.7N 64.4W 60 KT 70 MPH
24H 12/1800Z 33.7N 61.2W 60 KT 70 MPH
36H 13/0600Z 34.8N 56.2W 55 KT 65 MPH
48H 13/1800Z...ABSORBED BY FRONTAL SYSTEM

This one may end up stronger.

edit: looks like the center is much closer to the convection than earlier based on recon.

TROPICAL STORM FAY DISCUSSION NUMBER 8
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL072014
1100 PM AST SAT OCT 11 2014

Fay's cloud pattern is that of a sheared cyclone, with deep
convection bursting west of the center and little in the way of
banding features. The Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft
investigating the cyclone this evening found peak flight-level winds
of 79 kt at 5,000 ft, but these were in an area of limited deep
convection southeast of the center. Several SFMR winds of around 55
kt in the convection support maintaining the initial intensity at 60
kt for this advisory. The central pressure fell to 988 mb just
before 0000 UTC, but ticked up to 989 mb on the final aircraft fix.

Aircraft fixes indicate that Fay has turned to the east of due
north, with an initial motion of 010/15. The cyclone should
continue to accelerate northeastward and then east-northeastward
into the mid-latitude westerlies during the next 24 hours. The new
NHC forecast track is close to the multi-model consensus and the
previous official forecast, taking the center of Fay just east of
Bermuda overnight tonight. This track will place the island in a
region with some of the strongest winds and deepest convection
associated with the storm.

Little change in intensity is expected during the next 12 to 24
hours as Fay will continue to be embedded within a high shear
environment. By 36 hours, Fay should be absorbed into a frontal
system.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 12/0300Z 30.9N 65.0W 60 KT 70 MPH
12H 12/1200Z 32.7N 63.1W 55 KT 65 MPH
24H 13/0000Z 34.6N 58.3W 55 KT 65 MPH

I'm not talking about strength. Fay made landfall in Florida like three times and strengthened and formed her eye overland.

You have to admit, that's pretty cool.

It does look like Fay indeed made a direct landfall on Bermuda. Otherwise the pressure may have been a bit lower, say 984. 10-min winds of 51 kt equates to 1-min winds of 57 kt.
