As Florida braces for Tropical Storm Debby, the system is currently delivering sustained winds of 60 mph and is situated 195 miles south-southwest of Tampa. The storm is advancing north-northwest at a speed of 13 mph.
Tracking Predictions
Debby is gradually veering to the right, currently positioned on the southwestern edge of an Atlantic mid-level ridge. The storm is progressing toward a weakness created by a mid-to-upper-level trough over the eastern United States.
“This steering pattern should cause Debby to turn northward and then north-northeastward during the next day or so, taking the core of the cyclone to the Big Bend region of Florida early tomorrow,” said the National Hurricane Center.

National Hurricane Center
Heavy rainfall is expected to cause significant flash and urban flooding in parts of northern Florida through Friday morning.
The National Hurricane Center said, “Potentially historic heavy rainfall across southeast Georgia and South Carolina through Friday morning will likely result in areas of severe and widespread flash and urban flooding. Significant river flooding is also expected.”
What Does This Mean for Alabama
James Spann, ABC 33/40, and Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Chief Meteorologist, “No impact for most of Alabama. The southeast corner of the state (around Dothan) no doubt will see some rain from Debby, but the heaviest rain and potential for flooding will be to the east over Georgia.”
