Debby To Bring Heavy Rainfall And Flooding Across Southeast US

Debby, currently a Category 1 hurricane, is expected to weaken to a tropical storm as it moves inland over Florida's Big Bend region. The system will be cut off from the warm water that fuels it, leading to a reduction in wind speed. However, this decrease in wind intensity will not diminish the threat posed by Debby's torrential rainfall.

Large portions of Florida and southern Georgia are bracing for heavy rainfall, which is forecasted to persist for several days. The storm is projected to track north-northeast, with its center likely crossing into southern Georgia by mid-afternoon. Subsequently, Debby is expected to move slowly through southeastern Georgia before emerging over the Atlantic by mid-afternoon on Tuesday.
