Debby is now a hurricane, Flash flooding ongoing in Florida: Sunday 10p Update
SUMMARY: Hurricane Debbie, now classified as a Category 1 storm with 75 mph winds, is set to make landfall in Florida’s Big Bend on Monday morning. The National Hurricane Center reports its pressure has dropped to 985 mbars as it strengthens over the warm Gulf waters, moving north at 12 mph. The storm’s path has shifted east, leading to potential impacts along the Gulf Coast, including gusty winds and a moderate rip current risk. Heavy rainfall is anticipated, with some areas facing 15-20 inches, increasing concerns for flash flooding in northern Florida and parts of Georgia and the Carolinas.
Meteorologist Grant Skinner gives an update on the tropical activity in the Atlantic Basin. The News 5 First Alert Storm Team is tracking Hurricane Debby. It has maximum winds of 75 mph and is currently moving to the north at 12 mph. It continues to rapidly strengthen, and multiple threats are possible in the path of Debby. The biggest concern is flooding for parts of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. As Debby pushes inland, it will sit over these areas dumping 12-16 inches of rain with some spots near Savannah and Charleston seeing 16-20+ inches. Surge will climb to 6-10 ft in areas close to the center of Debby at landfall. Several tornadoes are possible for much of the Florida peninsula. Sustained winds will approach 85-95 mph with gusts higher near the center, and tropical storm force winds will extend out to SE AL, and much of GA, SC, and the coast of NC. For the News 5 area, drier air will move in behind this system lowering our rain chances a bit, and there will be an increased threat for rip currents to start the work week. We are also watching one other area in the central Atlantic that currently has a low chance of development, but it could slowly develop over the next several days. It does not currently pose a threat to the News 5 area.
