The low off the mid-Atlantic coast is now Tropical Storm Fay, and it will bring some rough weather to the northeast.  At 5 am Friday, Fay was located near 37.4 North, 74.8 West, about 105 miles south of Cape May, New Jersey.  Fay was moving north at 10 miles per hour.  Maximum sustained winds were 50 miles per hour.  A tropical storm warning is in effect from Cape May to Watch Hill, Rhode Island, and this includes Long Island and Long Island Sound.  Fay is forecast to come ashore Friday night and move inland over portions of the northeast U.S. on Saturday.  The threats from Fay include 2 to 4 inches of rain, potential flash flooding, and isolated tornadoes.
