West Palm Beach Fort Pierce, FL, September 21, 2026 —
Tropical Storm Fay, currently situated in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean southwest of the Azores, has significantly weakened. Forecasters anticipate the storm will dissipate without impacting any landmasses.
The National Hurricane Center or relevant meteorological agency has indicated that Fay is expected to transition into a post-tropical remnant low. This classification suggests that the storm will lose its tropical characteristics but may persist as an area of disturbed weather.
Meteorologists are referring to the developing system as a “fish storm,” a term commonly used for tropical cyclones that form and dissipate over open water, posing no threat to populated areas. The storm’s current trajectory and weakening trend suggest it will remain far from any coastlines.
Specific details regarding the storm’s intensity, precise location, or timeline for dissipation beyond the general forecast were not provided in the latest updates. However, the overriding assessment is that Fay poses no threat to any land and is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low before fully dissipating. The lack of any land interaction means no potential impacts, such as storm surge, heavy rainfall, or high winds, are anticipated.
