Tropical storm Fay formed this evening over the east of the Dominican Republic. The National Hurricane Center is still working its way through the possible future track that this cyclone might take. Florida might be in the firing line early next week. As things stand at the moment, Fay could make landfall in Florida as a strong tropical storm, with winds of 60 knots (that's 65 mph). Please monitor NHC output for updates and advice.
