to start with debby because debby is still dumping buckets of rain across north florida and southeastern georgia. here's the radar loop from those areas, the doppler radar all kind of put together to give you the big picture. debby still spinning in the northeastern gulf of mexico but not the most impressive storm. on the latest advisory from the hurricane center, you probably see those wind there is in the top bar. they are down to 40 miles an hour. so debby certainly is having her issues. she's going to encounter land which will further weaken debby to probably a tropical depression as it goes across the florida peninsula during the day on wednesday. emerges east of daytona beach thursday morning. then it's probably going to strengthen a little bit in the atlantic off the southeastern u.s. coast and then as it makes a little bit of a turn to the northeast as we head toward the weekend and early next week, we're going to have to watch the whole east coast including our beaches for the potential for some waves and maybe some riptides here. if you're headed that way, keep that in mind. the rest o

hard hit by rain and the trings downpours moving into parts of southeastern georgia. tough going.ing toward jacksonville and tampa, you may have some flight delays because of the weather. high pressure is in charge so it will be mild tonight. temperatures, 60s and 70s to get you started tomorrow. a bright and sunny day coming for sunday but more sun means more heat. highs tomorrow, low to mid 90s in a few spots. then by late in the day, the human is sneaking back in. this little boundary to the north is a little back door cool front as the moisture bumps into that, we may have to worry about a little rain chance late in the day monday, more likely a tuesday and wednesday problem. headed to the beach. the air temperatures, low to mid 80s. same story again on monday. what about us? around here, sunday looks sunny and hot. highs, upper 80 in the terrain. another 90 possible on monday but that's when the rain chances start to sneak back in. the best chances of rain will be tuesday and wednesday, tapering off thursday. what's more important the early lean on next weekend, warm and dry.

going to see the rains continuing along i-10 from jacksonville to tallahassee moving into southeastern georgia as well. the rains are persistent because debby is not really moving much. she is going to drift slowly off toward the northeast here over the next couple of days crossing florida. you'll notice the winds are down to 45 miles an hour. so this is not a big classic storm by any stretch. a merging backup probably in the atlantic as we head into friday morning. it could strengthen a little bit and then continue to move northeast. it should come up this way. i don't think it's going to be a problem here in the mid- atlantic but as we get toward the weekend or next week even, it's possible she comes up a little farther north, that riptides may become an issue. if you're going over to ocean city or any of those areas, virginia beach, the outer banks, you'll have to pay attention to exactly where debby goaz because ever the rip -- goes because of the riptide concerns. today a beautiful day. 75 at noon. by 4:00 81. going to be about the high, 81, 82. very, very comfortable humidity levels. big
