Tropical Storm Fay weakened over New York on Friday night.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Friday the center of Tropical Storm Fay was located at latitude 41.0\u00b0N and longitude 74.2\u00b0W which put it about 15 miles (30 km) northwest of New York, New York.\u00a0 Fay was moving toward the north at 17 m.p.h. (28 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 50 m.p.h. (80 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1001 mb.<\/p>\n
A Tropical Storm Warning was in effect for the portion of the coast from East Rockaway, New York to Watch Hill, Rhode Island including Long Island and Long Island Sound.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Tropical Storm Fay weakened on Friday night as the center moved across eastern New Jersey and into southeastern New York.\u00a0 An upper level trough over the eastern U.S. was producing southwesterly winds which were blowing across the top of Fay.\u00a0 Those winds were causing moderate vertical wind shear.\u00a0 Drier air was wrapping around the southern side of the circulation and it was being pulled into the inner part of Tropical Storm Fay.\u00a0 Bands near the center of Fay consisted of showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 Heavier rain was falling in bands over northeastern Pennsylvania and central New York.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force were occurring in the southeastern part of the circulation which is still over the Atlantic Ocean.\u00a0 The wind speeds over land were much weaker.<\/p>\n The upper level trough will steer Tropical Storm Fay toward the north-northeast during the next several days.\u00a0 Fay will continue to weaken as the tropical storm moves farther inland.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Fay will also make a transition to an extratropical cyclone when it moves farther north.\u00a0 Fay could still drop locally heavy rain over parts of the northeastern U.S. on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tropical Storm Fay weakened over New York on Friday night.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Friday the center of Tropical Storm Fay was located at latitude 41.0\u00b0N and longitude 74.2\u00b0W which put it about 15 miles (30 km) northwest of New York, New York.\u00a0 Fay was moving toward the north at 17 m.p.h.
