Summary
Tropical Storm Fay formed in the eastern Atlantic southwest of the Azores , with U.S. forecasters saying it poses no threat to the United States.
The storm is still expected to bring rough weather to the Azores island chain over the next few days as it tracks in the northern Atlantic.
Fay is the sixth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic season, which has already seen all but two storms affect Texas.
