Post-Tropical Cyclone Fay Discussion Number  39
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL062026
500 PM AST Tue Sep 29 2026
 
Fay's time as a tropical cyclone has faded away. An earlier 
scatterometer pass showed that the system had weakened with maximum 
winds around 25 kt, and that the low-level center was becoming less 
defined. While occasional bursts of convection may continue, the 
convection has not been organized in several hours. Thus, the system 
is being designated as a post-tropical cyclone with an initial 
intensity of 25 kt.
 
The post-tropical cyclone will continue to move generally 
west-southwestward at around 10 kt, steered along the southern 
periphery of the mid-level ridge located over the central Atlantic. 
The system should continue to gradually weaken and is expected to 
dissipate into an open trough in about a day or so. The latest NHC 
track and intensity forecast is similar to the previous advisory and 
lies near the latest consensus aids.
 
This is the last public advisory issued by the National Hurricane 
Center on this system. Additional information on this system can be 
found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, 
under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at
