Thunderstorms developed near the center of Fay and an inner core of convection formed.\u00a0 The thunderstorms released enough latent energy in the middle and upper troposphere to create a warm core.\u00a0 As a result the structure of Fay changed from a subtropical storm into a tropical storm.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT the center of Tropical Storm Fay was located at latitude 27.9\u00b0N and longitude 65.3\u00b0W which put it about 305 miles south of Bermuda.\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 70 m.p.h. and the minimum surface pressure was 991 mb.<\/p>\n
The upper level outflow around Fay is well developed on the west side of the circulation.\u00a0 It is over warmer Sea Surface Temperatures and some further intensification is possible.\u00a0 When Fay gets farther north it will run into stronger upper level winds from the west.\u00a0 Those winds will generate wind shear and start to weaken the storm.<\/p>\n
Fay is moving around the western end of a subtropical high pressure system and it should continue to move northward today.\u00a0 Eventually the upper level westerly winds will force Fay to turn toward the northeast.<\/p>\n
