Where is Tropical Storm Debby?
Forecasters expect a developing system to form into a tropical storm that could cause flooding across parts of Florida this weekend.
Potential Tropical Cyclone Four – which is expected to form into Tropical Storm Debby – could drench the state with up to a foot of rain in some areas this weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center. Flash and urban flooding as well as some isolated river flooding will all be possible through Wednesday morning.
Florida’s west coast was under tropical storm watches and warnings Friday as the system neared. The center warned that some areas could possibly face tropical-storm-force winds and even a 1- to 3-foot storm surge.
