Increasing wind shear and dry air are causing the storm to weaken.

The National Hurricane Center forecasts Fay to become a post-tropical remnant low by Tuesday and dissipate by the end of the week.

Fay will be considered a "fish storm," as there are no coastal watches or warnings in effect, and the storm currently poses no hazards to land.

No other tropical development is expected this week.
