Debby's 2nd landfall in Carolinas as tropical storm

FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes broke down the latest on Tropical Storm Debby, which made a second landfall Thursday morning with slightly weaker status. He broke down the rainfall it left us in Florida and analyzed an area of low pressure that poses a chance of development next week.

Tropical Storm Debby strengthens off the Carolinas

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is still watching Tropical Storm Debby, which was sitting just off the coast of South Carolina around noon on Wednesday. He says there is a lot of dry air wrapped around the system and that will help weaken the storm, lessening the threat of torrential rain. Weber added that while there will be band of heavy rain, they won’t be as widespread as they could’ve been if there wasn’t all the dry air. However, since Tropical Storm Debby is over warm water, it is strengthening. Winds were at 60 miles an hour Wednesday afternoon and it was moving to the northeast at five miles an hour. Weber said it will eventually make a U-turn and move back toward the coast Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. Weber is also watching another area of interest working its way across the Caribbean. It has a 10% chance of developing over the next week but will not impact Florida.

Tropical Storm Debby slowly weakening

Debby is bringing a lot of deep tropical moisture to the Southeast as it slowly weakens, according to FOX 13 News Meteorologist Jim Weber. Weber says a slow moving storm always means big rainfall totals.

Tampa weather | Few rain bands from Debby remain

FOX 13 chief meteorologist Paul Dellegatto has the latest on Tropical Storm Debby as a few rain bands continue moving through the Bay Area. The storm is now impacting northeast Florida along with coastal areas of Georgia and the Carolinas, where potentially catastrophic rainfall is expected.

Debby downgraded to tropical storm

According to FOX 13 News Meteorologist Jim Weber, Tropical Storm Debby is moving slowly as it works its way through southeastern Georgia. He says if it moves back off the coast over water, there is a chance that it could reintensify. There's also a tropical wave working its way into the Caribbean that is expected to stay well to our south, according to Weber.

Hurricane Debby makes landfall in Florida

FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg watched Hurricane Debby gain strength before it made landfall in the Big Bend area around 7 a.m. on Monday. The storm was expected to cause life-threatening storm surge in parts of the Sunshine State after it made landfall.

Tropical Storm Debby takes aim at Florida

FOX 13 Meteorologists are keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Debby, which is expected to become at least a Category 1 hurricane before making landfall in the Big Bend Area. The Bay Area will begin feeling the outer rain bands of the storm on Sunday morning with the areas west of I-75 seeing the most impact. Tropical Storm Debby will bring heavy downpours to the area throughout the day on Sunday and into Monday morning. The storm is expected to stall out after making landfall, bringing heavy rain to the southeastern states throughout the week.

Tropical Depression Four expected to strengthen

FOX 13 News Meteorologist Valerie Mills says Tropical Depression Four is expected to become Tropical Storm Debby sometimes Saturday afternoon. The Tampa Bay Area is under a tropical storm warning, according to Mills.

Tropical system to bring rain to Florida

FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes is continuing to monitor a tropical system that has just been upgraded to Invest 97L. He says it has a 60% chance of developing over the next week. It has a 20% chance of forming over the next 48 hours, but those chances remain low because it will be battling wind shear, Saharan dust and mountainous terrain. However, it is expected to bring rain to Florida. Nash notes that it is too early to pinpoint where the rain will fall because the system could strengthen or weaken, and its path is not set in stone. If the storm earns a name, it will be called Debby.
