Claims News Service, Aug. 19, 5:04 a.m. EST — It appears that Tropical Storm Fay, which seemed sure to become Hurricane Fay, will not achieve Category-1 hurricane status.
According to a Guy Carpenter Cat-i report, all hurricane warnings have been discontinued in Florida. However, a tropical storm warning is in place for Florida's west coast from the middle of Longboat southward, along the east coast from Flagler Beach southward and for the Florida Keys.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Fay could produce 4 to 8 inches of rain over southern and east central regions of Florida, with up to 10 inches possible in some areas. The NHC also warned that Fay could cause coastal storm surge flooding of 3 to 5 feet above normal levels in southwestern Florida while tornadoes could develop in southern and central areas.
