Tropical wave pushes northwest towards Cancun; Tropical Storm Debby over Georgia

MIAMI — Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located over the east-central Caribbean Sea have changed little this morning.

Any development of this system should be slow to occur during the next couple of days while it moves westward over the central Caribbean Sea. Environmental conditions are expected to become more conducive for development later this week as the system moves across the western Caribbean Sea or the southern Gulf of Mexico.

* Formation chance through 7 days…low…30 percent.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Debby moved menacingly into some of America’s most historic Southern cities and was expected to bring prolonged downpours and flooding throughout the day today after slamming into Florida and prompting the rescue of hundreds from flooded homes.
