Tropical Depression 6 is expected to become a tropical storm in the Central Atlantic southwest of the Azores.

TD 6 will continue to meander in the open waters of the Atlantic over the weekend. It is possible we will see Tropical Storm Fay over the weekend.

Floridians may remember Fay when it brought widespread flooding to the state in 2008. Since the name was not retired, it went back into the six-year rotation of names used for the Atlantic basin.
