located by an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft near latitude 36.7
North, longitude 74.9 West. Fay is moving toward the north near 8
mph (13 km/h). A northward to north-northeastward motion at a
faster forward speed is expected over the next couple of days. On

mid-Atlantic coast today and move inland over the mid-Atlantic
or the northeast United States late tonight or on Saturday.

mainly to the east and southeast of the center.

The minimum central pressure reported by the Air Force plane is
