A new spot to watch near Africa
. (.)
The center of Tropical Storm Fay was located near latitude 33.1 North, longitude 32.2 West. Fay is moving toward the south-southwest near 3 mph and a gradual turn toward the southwest and west is expected during the next few days.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 45 mph with higher gusts.
Fay is likely to degenerate into a post-tropical remnant low by late Tuesday.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb.
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.

In the far Eastern Tropical Atlantic, a tropical wave is forecast to move off western Africa by Wednesday.
Development of this system should be slow to occur while it moves near the Cabo Verde Islands later this week.
The formation chance through 48 hours is 0 percent and the formation chance through 7 days is 30 percent.
