Tropical Storm Debby is strengthening over the Gulf of Mexico
Debby has maximum sustained winds of 65 miles per hour and is expected to strengthen rapidly before landfall in the Big Bend, with tropical storm force wind extending outward up to 140 miles from the center as it sits about 125 west-southwest of Tampa at this time.
Debby is expected to stay over the open waters through the day on Sunday but impacts will continue, especially for the western side of Florida. The forward movement is slightly slower, at 13 mph, which will allow even more time for this storm to get up to a hurricane before landfall.By tonight we could see the intensification happen into a hurricane as it approaches landfall in the Big Bend on Monday morning.
