Hurricane Debby
What was TD 4 is now, or soon will be, Hurricane Debby as the storm moves toward landfall in the area of Florida's Big Bend, with forecast winds at 90mph producing a 6-10’ surge. Tornado watches extend as far east as St. Augustine.
Debby will be moving over very warm waters and in a low-vertical shear environment prior to landfall. Therefore significant strengthening is likely through tonight, especially if the cyclone forms a well-defined inner core The official forecast is near the high side of the objective guidance and calls for the system to become a hurricane within 12 hours. The cyclone will weaken after it moves inland, but since the system will not be far from the coastline for the next few days, it is not predicted to fall below tropical storm strength through 72 hours. -NOAA
