Earlier post:
As Tropical Storm Fay continues northward across the Florida peninsula, it has increased its strength to 65 mph at 2 pm. The storm is moving north northeast at 8 mph from a position near Moore Haven, Florida. Even with a gradual turn toward the north, Fay should move back over the Atlantic near the northern part of the east coast of Florida by tomorrow. This is expected to lead to some restrengthening.
Tropical storm winds extend outward up to 115 miles from the center. An unofficial report of 65 mph winds with a gust to 78 mph was received from Moore Haven.
