Thankfully for the residents of South Florida, Tropical Storm Fay did not intensify much before making landfall this morning. Hurricane Hunter aircraft recording a max surface wind of 49 knots with a dropsonde, with max flight level winds of 61 knots. The satellite image was actually quite impressive at landfall, but the wind and pressure measurements did even come close to hurricane strength. In the end, it looks like it was a good decision for us not to intercept -- although in 6 months we'll be chasing everything worldwide!
