Tropical Storm Debby, which came ashore as a category 1 hurricane along the Florida coast early Monday, will move across the Southeast on Tuesday at roughly the speed of a human walking.
Like Debby, both storms stalled over the region and became reminders that a hurricane’s hazards can persist and intensify for days after it makes landfall.
Even small changes in the steering currents could result in Debby shifting and changing where the rain falls.
The storm will most likely move slightly offshore, allowing some restrengthening before the storm turns north and moves back inland.
Debby will funnel huge amounts of moisture northward and collide with cooler air moving into the region, allowing storms to form.
