Fay to come ashore tonight!

Tropical Storm Fay's intensity may slowly increase tonight as Southwest Florida braces for rain and wind. We may wake up to Hurricane Fay, but this is not expected to be a super-storm. Rather, a heavy rain maker. Some locations may receive 4-8 inches of rain.

Areas along the coast from Marco Island/Naples up to Captiva, Sanibel, and Port Charlotte may see wind damage tonight and early tomorrow. Latest computer models show Fay going due north over Florida (perhaps providing much-needed drought relief for Georgia and the Carolinas by week's end.


A former colleague and friend of mine, Morgan Palmer, is blogging about Fay on the WBBH-TV weather blog.
