Debbie makes landfall, watching new tropical wave in Caribbean
Debby made landfall as a Category One 80 mph hurricane around 7AM near Steinhatchee, FL. Some parts of Florida have already picked up over 16" of rain and a few tornadoes have been spotted. Debby's biggest impact will likely come over the next few days as the tropical system is expected to dump 1-2 feet of rain over coastal parts of Georgia & the Carolinas. A few areas could pick up over two feet of rain! Flooding will be significant as Debby slows down and sits over the SE through much of the week. Another Tropical wave is being monitored in the eastern Caribbean with a LOW 30% chance for development over the next week. This system could reach the southern Gulf of Mexico over the next several days. Keep checking back for updates!!!
