Possible Tropical Depression Or Storm Could Soak Florida, Southeast Coast

A​ disturbance tracking through the northern Caribbean islands could form into Tropical Storm Debby as it tracks toward Florida and the Southeast coast with soaking rainfall, gusty winds and some coastal flooding this weekend into early next week.

Tropical storm watches and warnings could be issued in parts of Florida on Friday ahead of this system’s expected formation.

Here’s where the disturbance is now and when it could develop. The tropical wave that may eventually become a tropical depression or storm is located near Cuba, or near the “X” in the graphic below, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

I​t’s been called “Invest 97L”, a term used by the NHC to identify features they are monitoring for potential future development into a tropical depression or storm.

Here’s where this system might track in the coming days. A majority of the forecast model guidance has trended toward a track of this system toward the Florida Peninsula this weekend. From there, it might turn northeast and hug the coasts of Georgia and the Carolinas early next week.

T​here is the possibility this system might slow down, or even stall, somewhere near northern Florida or near the Southeast coast, which could prolong impacts.
