Tropical Storm Debby Moves Onshore, Threatens Major Flooding in North Florida

Hurricane Debby Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042024

500 AM EDT Mon Aug 05 2024

The eyewall of Debby is moving onshore and landfall in the Florida
Big Bend is expected to occur within the next few hours. Doppler
radar images from Tallahassee indicate that the eye of the hurricane
has become a bit more circular and deep convection remains fairly
well organized over the eastern eyewall, and in bands east of the
center that have spread across portions of northern Florida. There
have been numerous reports of sustained tropical-storm-force winds,
but the strongest so far is in Horseshoe Beach, where a weather
station recently recorded a sustained wind of 57 kt and a gust to
83 kt. Data from the Air Force Hurricane Hunters indicate that the
maximum winds are likely near 70 kt, and Debby will likely maintain
that intensity or strengthen a little until it reaches the coast.

After landfall, Debby is expected to slow down and turn
northeastward as the steering currents collapse, taking the system
across northern Florida and southeastern Georgia later today through
Tuesday. Most of the models show Debby moving off the southeast
U.S. coast late Tuesday and Wednesday before a ridge builds to the
north of the system, which should push it back inland over South
Carolina on Thursday. Although the details of the track forecast
are unknown, there is high confidence that Debby will move slowly
while near or over the southeastern U.S., which will likely result
in catastrophic flooding in some locations. The NHC track forecast
is similar to the previous one and in line with the consensus aids.

Rapid weakening is forecast after the center moves inland, and Debby
will likely become a tropical storm over northern Florida this
afternoon. If Debby does move back offshore of the southeast U.S.,
there could be a little strengthening before it moves inland once
again. Regardless of the system's strength, the main impact is
expected to be heavy rainfall as mentioned above. The NHC intensity
forecast is generally similar to the previous one and near the HCCA
and IVCN aids.

NHC has begun issuing hourly Tropical Cyclone Updates, and they
will continue through landfall.
