TS Debby

Looks like the week ahead is going to be pretty wet and soggy thanks to TS Debby. Current forecast has it slowing down as it goes through FL and GA and dumping a lot of rain on the area in the process.

After the system makes landfall, the steering currents are likely to weaken as a trough over the northeastern U.S. moves eastward from the area, which should result in a decrease in forward speed.  There is significant uncertainty in the track of Debby in the 2-5 day time frame.  Much of the track guidance keeps the center over the southeastern U.S. for the next several days as a ridge builds in over the Carolinas.

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.

Should be an interesting week ahead.
