Once-stalled Tropical Storm Fay began moving across Florida Thursday afternoon, with a rainy westerly path forecast to cross the Panhandle.

At 5 p.m., forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm was located just west of Flagler Beach, Fla., north of Daytona Beach, moving west at 5 mph after stalling over the Atlantic Ocean for hours.

Sustained winds were 60 mph, and rain from the system intense, the report said.

Fay was expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 5-10 inches across the central to northern portion of the Florida Peninsula, southern Georgia and southeastern Alabama, the report said.

A tropical storm warning was in effect from Fort Pierce, Fla., to the Savannah River at the border between Georgia and South Carolina, as tropical storm force winds extended outward 150 miles.

The storm formed Saturday and battered Haiti, Dominican Republic and Cuba before making its first landfall in Key West Monday night. It then made a second landfall near Naples in southwest Florida before crossing the peninsula back to the Atlantic Ocean.
