Tropical Storm Fay hit Cape Romano, FL this morning with 65 mph winds. Here is the track of Fay. which is actually quite interesting. It will go through the Orlando area before heading out into the Atlantic. The NHC forecasts that it will become a minimal hurricane before hitting Jacksonville. It does not appear that Fay will bring us any rain in the near future.

Meanwhile, our weather should stay tranquil through the rest of the work week. The humidities will slowly increase, along with temperatures. Highs for the next 3 days will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

Saturday-Tuesday will hold a different story. Some moisture from the storm will increase our humidities, but with Fay so far to our south, the storm from the west will slide into our area. However, Fay's movement and the weather pattern will cause this system to stall. Temps will be in the upper 80s all of these days, but a daily 30% chance of showers/storm exists...
