Far from shore, Tropical Storm Fay forms as Odalys eyes hurricane strength
Fay is forecast to become the Atlantic’s first hurricane of 2026, while Odalys could strengthen into a hurricane in the East Pacific.
- Tropical Storm Fay formed early Sunday in the eastern Atlantic, located approximately 450 miles southwest of the Azores, according to the National Hurricane Center.
- Formerly designated Tropical Depression Six, the system organized rapidly in the subtropical Central Atlantic and represents the sixth named storm of the historically quiet 2026 Atlantic season.
- The NHC confirms the storm poses no threat to the U.S. mainland, while the system is currently moving north at a slow pace over open water.
- While impacting marine traffic, the storm will bring inclement weather to the Azores island chain through the next few days, the NHC warns.
- Forecasters predict the system will weaken into a remnant low by Tuesday as the Atlantic basin remains historically inactive, influenced by brewing 'Super' El Niño conditions suppressing development.
