00:06Faye formed Sunday southwest of the Azores in the open Atlantic.

00:24Faye arrived more than three weeks later than the typical sixth named storm.
00:28The seasonal F storm usually forms by August 29th.

00:36One area near the Cabo Verde Islands has a low development risk.

01:03Moisture from Pacific storms could also reach the southwestern United States.
01:08For now, Faye is expected to remain a storm over the open Atlantic.
