Here's your evening forecast for Monday August 5th.
Debby has officially made landfall near Steinhatchee, Florida as a category 1 hurricane on Monday morning and has since been downgraded to a tropical storm. As the storms continues to pull away from Southwest Florida our impacts come down, but don't go away completely. We will see tropical downpours in bands move across the area tonight into Tuesday.
By Tuesday evening SWFL will move out the tail of Debby, but before that happens an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain can't be ruled out. This could cause some localized flooding. It will be a little gusty again tomorrow with winds gusting 20-25mph.
A little drier rain will move in on Wednesday and Thursday bring more isolated shower chances, but will be back in our typical Florida Summer sea breeze driven pattern by the weekend.
