Tropical Storm Debby meandering north
Hard-to-predict Tropical Storm Debby might have created up its mind.
After a weekend of shifting forecasts, the National Hurricane Center said late Sunday that the storm should meander north for several days before creating landfall midweek in the Florida Panhandle or Alabama.
Earlier forecasts had Debby moving west toward Louisiana or Texas.
Chris Landsea, a meteorologist at the hurricane center, said forecasters have confidence computer models, which were contradictory till Sunday.
"They came into to a small degree additional of an agreement that the westward turn is less doubtless," he said.
Coastal Alabama and components of Florida, together with the Panhandle, remained underneath tropical storm warnings. Debby dumped significant rain in Florida on Sunday and spawned severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Highlands County Sheriff's workplace spokeswoman Nell Hays said a girl in Venus, Fla., was found dead in an exceedingly house that was destroyed by a storm.
Debby's 60-mph winds were kicking up rough waves along Florida Panhandle beaches Sunday.
Twenty-three % of oil and gas production in the Gulf of Mexico was suspended, a government hurricane response team reported. employees were evacuated from 13 drilling rigs and sixty one production platforms.
Debby's slow motion can build rainfall the primary threat from the storm.
Up to ten inches is likely in some regions along the Gulf Coast, said meteorologist Jeff Masters of private forecasting company Weather Underground.
The Pensacola space is at the best risk, hurricane center spokesman Dennis Feltgen said, because significant rains caused flooding two weeks ago. "The ground continues to be saturated and its capacity to take additional significant rains is limited," he says.
Masters said, "Farther to the east, along the remainder of the Gulf Coast of Florida, moderate to severe drought prevails, and flooding from Debby are less of a problem."
AccuWeather meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski noted that Debby's formation in the Gulf on Saturday marked the first time since record-keeping began in 1851 that four named tropical storms fashioned in the Atlantic before July.
