Tropical Storm Fay Slightly Stronger, Faster Headed Toward Northeast

MIAMI (CBSMIami) –  Tropical storm conditions and heavy rainfall are spreading northward along the mid-Atlantic coast thanks to Tropical Storm Fay.

At 11:00 a.m., the center of Fay is about 40 miles South of Cape May, New Jersey with maximum sustained winds of 60 miles per hour.

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect from Fenwick Island Delaware to Watch Hill Rhode Island, including southern Delaware Bay.

Fay is currently moving north near 12 mph.

Fay is forecast to continue moving Northward and move inland over the Mid-Atlantic coast Friday afternoon and evening and northeast U.S. Friday night and Saturday.

Weakening should begin after the center moves inland, and Fay is expected to weaken to a tropical depression by early Saturday.
