Summary
National Hurricane Center forecasters say Tropical Depression Six could briefly strengthen into Tropical Storm Fay after organizing rapidly a few hundred miles southwest of the Azores.
35 mph maximum sustained winds and a slow track over open water support near-term development, but intense wind shear and other unfavorable conditions are expected to weaken the system early next week.
No land impacts are expected, and officials say the depression poses no threat to the U.S. mainland.
If named, Fay would become the sixth tropical cyclone of the Atlantic season.
