The latest on Debby

The predicted direction of Debby has changed once again. She is now moving Northeastward at 5 mph. Sustained maximum winds have dropped to 45 mph. The predictions of Debby increasing to 70 MPH have been reverted. Since T.S. Debby stayed stationary for such a long time over the gulf, cold upwelling has cut off the warm water energy source. Also, mid level dry air has affected strengthening. 


The latest track shows Debby moving inland over North Central Florida by Monday and emerging over the Atlantic by Saturday morning. 

Continued weakening is expected now that the ocean upwelling and dry air are interacting. Tropical Storm warnings are in effect for the areas from Destin to Englewood, Fl.

The strongest winds and heaviest rain are located away from the center.
Waves of heavy rain will make their way onto the state periodically since the storm is moving so slowly.
