Far from shore, Tropical Storm Fay forms as Odalys eyes hurricane strength

Forecasters say the system could become Tropical Storm Fay and stay over open water, with no threat to the United States.

  • On Saturday, the National Hurricane Center identified Tropical Depression Six in the eastern Atlantic southwest of the Azores. By Sunday, the system strengthened into Tropical Storm Fay with sustained winds of 45 mph.
  • The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has generated the least Accumulated Cyclone Energy since 1950, setting a record for the latest start without a hurricane. Meteorologists link this quiet trend to strong El Niño-driven wind shear.
  • No coastal watches or warnings are currently in effect, as forecasters report the system remains over open water posing no threat to the United States. Marine interests monitor the storm but face no land impacts.
  • Brief strengthening is expected before Fay encounters unfavorable atmospheric conditions early next week. Experts anticipate increasing wind shear will force the system to weaken and dissipate over open Atlantic waters.
  • As hurricane season continues through November, meteorologists continue monitoring the Atlantic basin for potential tropical wave development later this month. Residents are encouraged to maintain emergency preparedness throughout the remainder of the season.
