Tropical Storm Fay and Atlantic Tropical Update – Sunday 10/12/14 at 800 AM EDT
Hello to all..
Tropical Storm Fay has been battering Bermuda during the overnight hours and into Sunday Morning. Sustained winds of strong tropical storm force up to 61 MPH with wind gusts up to 82-86 MPH have been reported on Bermuda. Some higher winds have been noted by one specific weather station on the island but this may not be representative of overall conditions. Numerous other weather stations on Bermuda have recorded wind gusts in the 60-70 MPH range with up to 2.25″ of rain recorded. Other weather stations have reported much higher rainfall but the rain gauge equipment has likely been impacted by the high winds.
Power outages have occurred on parts of Bermuda as several reporting weather stations have not reported in recently from the area and the IRLP node to Bermuda was unreachable in the past hour. Reports from Bermuda via Weather Underground stations can be seen via the VoIP Hurricane Net Report Viewer at the following link:

Once again, advisories on Tropical Storm Fay can be seen off the Main Menu of the voipwx.net web site, via the voipwxnet Facebook and Twitter feeds and via the National Hurricane Center web site at the following link:
Another area of disturbed weather about 275 miles east of the Leeward Islands continues to show signs of organization and now has a high chance, 70 percent, for development within 48 hours and within 5 days. A Reconnaissance Aircraft is scheduled to investigate this area of disturbed weather this afternoon and regardless of development, it is likely to bring locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds to the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and the Bahamas and interests in these areas should closely monitor the progress of this system.
