Tropical Storm Debby makes landfall in Florida

Posted by: Angela Fritz, 09:07 PM GMT on Juni 26, 2012

+39

Debby continues to weaken this afternoon, but remains a tropical storm with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph. The storm's center of circulation made landfall this afternoon near Steinhatchee, Florida. Hurricane hunters continue to find surface wind speeds that just meet tropical storm criteria and surface buoys on Wundermap are all clocking in at or below 30 mph. The storm's upper-level circulation is being stretched out into the Atlantic by the same steering forces that will transport it to the other side of Florida, and this combined with dry air has led to a messy-looking tropical cyclone over the past couple of days. Though there was no lack of rain yesterday in the Florida panhandle, Debby has certainly been weakened by the dry air that has wrapped into its center (figure 1). Water vapor imagery from satellite shows Debby's center is almost completely void of moisture, though rain continues to fall on the northeast side of the storm where moisture is still available. A 6 foot wide, 12-15 foot deep sinkhole swallowed a small portion of I-10 in Madison County west of Jacksonville, Florida, this morning, where heavy rain continues, though this hole will likely be filled and the lane reopened by tomorrow morning. Wind shear around 20 knots is also keeping Debby at bay, but the real disrupter is the lack of moisture.

Figure 1. Where's Debby? On the left: visible satellite imagery. On the right: water vapor satellite imagery, where the dry air ranges from black to rusty orange. Debby's center is almost completely void of moisture. These images were captured around 1pm EDT.

Forecast for Debby
The forecast for Debby continues to be similar to previous forecasts. The storm will likely continue to lose strength as it moves over Florida this evening and Wednesday, but could gain some momentum again when it reaches the yet untapped Atlantic water. There's a high chance Debby will be downgraded to tropical depression status this evening. The HPC continues to forecast up to 8 inches of rain for far northeast Florida over the next 5 days, likely because of the slight strengthening forecast to occur on Thursday and beyond. Debby's center will most likely be over Atlantic water Wednesday night.

Figure 2. Advisory map for the U.S. Tuesday afternoon. Heat advisories (pink) blanket the central U.S. This heat is expected to move eastward over the next few days as the ridge of high pressure advances.

The Heat Continues

Record highs continue to fall Tuesday afternoon in the central U.S., where Denver, Colorado had its fifth consecutive day of triple-digit heat after it reached 100°F at 1pm MDT, and could continue to rise this afternoon. This ties the all-time record for consecutive 100°F+ days. Nebraska and Kansas are particularly toasty this afternoon; McCook, Nebraska has reached 113°F so far, and Hill City, Kansas is up to 112°F. Though, to put that in perspective, the state record for Nebraska is 118°F, and the state record for Kansas is 121°F.

The heat moves east tomorrow, and by Thursday, many of the major Midwest cities are forecast to be in the triple-digits, including Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis. By Friday the heat will be beating down on the East Coast. In the meantime out west, the forecast high in Fresno for this weekend is 82°F, which would tie as the coolest final weekend in June on record, according to the Hanford forecast office.

THE CENTER IS DIFFICULT TO LOCATE GIVEN THE LACK OF ORGANIZATION...BUT THE AREA OF MINIMUM PRESSURE HAS BEEN MOVING EAST-NORTHEASTWARD OR 075 DEGREES AT 9 KNOTS ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL FLORIDA. MOST OF THE DEEP CONVECTION IS IN A FRONTAL-TYPE BAND EXTENDING NORTHEASTWARD FROM FLORIDA ACROSS THE ADJACENT ATLANTIC. THE MAXIMUM WINDS ARE STILL PROBABLY 30 KNOTS IN A FEW SQUALLS MAINLY OVER WATER. NONE OF THE INTENSITY GUIDANCE SHOW A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN STRENGTH...AND IN FACT...BOTH THE GFS AND THE ECMWF SUGGEST WEAKENING IN THE 00 UTC RUN. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST KEEPS DEBBY AS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AND ALLOWS SOME SLIGHT STRENGTHENING BEYOND 3 DAYS. DEBBY IS EMBEDDED IN WESTERLY FLOW WITHIN THE BASE OF A MID-LATITUDE TROUGH...AND IT SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARD THE EAST-NORTHEAST OR NORTHEAST AS INDICATED BY GLOBAL MODELS. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS IN BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS.

I think it's safe to say we are seeing Debby receiving the death blows now. She is certainly there...but becoming increasingly entrained into a sharp trough. This is likely it for her, but appreciation awarded for the NHC playing the correct choice in keeping the door open on petential reorg in the open Atlantic. Earlier, I mentioned a piece may be getting left behind in the extreme eastern gulf. With new satellite images, it is impossible to agreee on the notion that anything is getting left behind. Indeed, we are seeing everything getting stretched out into a long trough. It's the almost certain end to Debby and I'd expect no surprises coming up on her tail end trough in the Gulf. She's finally done, may she rest in piece...she's done far more than enough to good people. Member Since: Maj 21, 2008 Posts: 0 Comments: 569

Well its late and I have got to pack it in. All I can say is that, after Lisa in 2010, this storm will get much stronger in the sun this AM unless it self-destructs from multiple centers. Even when Lisa did literally fly apart, the >1000 mile span of converging flow tends to bring things back together again. The center is not clear, but as it rocks back to the SE the new center will tie into large feeders from ENE all the way around to due W. The real wild card is the old center cruising along the NW quad of the new center. I think it may be rotating in circles. It will all be clearer by the afternoon ... I am just a little disturbed that the predictable move to the SE after the dry air intrusion (to tie the front back together) and after the collapse of the sheared CoC (loss of anchor pushed SE by ridge) is a predictable move that is now threatening the Bahamas and nothing is said about that danger. It may become alot clearer soon. Member Since: September 16, 2010 Posts: 4 Comments: 84

Quoting MAweatherboy1: Good morning. The 0z HWRF, which has been quite good this year since its upgrade, takes Debby very close to NC Huh? Okay...I'll take the bait. The HWRF failed miserably with Debby. In fact...it was the very last to defect from a westerly course...well after the other did and a solid 24 hours or so after the EURO did. Overall, the HWRF was the worst model of them all by far. Debby is so elongated and embedded in the trough now that she is basically dead already. She's pretty much absorbed into the elongated low pressure trough now and really is not a distinct tropical system any longer. She's likely to just fade away from here on out. Otherwise, her vorticity may cruise out along this low pressure axis on a path to the ENE, and it is no longer a threat to North America. Member Since: Maj 21, 2008 Posts: 0 Comments: 569

Tropical Storm Debby has washed away most of the beach on Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key. The beach is simply gone in parts. The dunes on Anna Maria took a serious blow. This is also the same all up and down the west coast of Florida. Hope the storms stay away or else we will have a serious problem on our hands. No dunes to protect the barrier islands in parts.

I am afraid the stage is set for apocalyptic type temperatures and Wildfires over much of the nation.Am I the only person thinking this way? Apocalyptic, hardly, but you raise a valid point, it is hot, dry and windy. In addition we have to look at changes in forestry management and combustible housing's proximity to forest areas. These are not they same forest areas they were 50 years ago. I've stated some of this in prior comments and IMHO we need to examine and study housing area location, construction practices, and subsidized insurance, subsidized housing, as well as forestry management practices. Obviously something is wrong with the current picture. Is there going to be a bailout for these poor folks who lost property? Here we go again. Not that I mind helping those in need. Do it all the time. However, when taxpayers subsidize construction via subsidized insurance and guaranteed loans in ill fated locations then again taxpayers pay to bailout after the "unexpected" happens, it just seems kind of silly.

If we get Ernesto out of this area(which doesn't seem likely right now)that would almost be half of what we were suppose to get this year.If 2009 can produce 11 named storms after Ana formed in August then their is no reason why we can't get that much for the rest of the season.No matter how strong the El nino is.I think it'll still be weak BTW.

Quoting Autistic2: I am so glad we bought a house on the top of a small hill. The end of the street is undertwater. One factor of cyclones that is often overlooked is rainwater flooding. The wind and stormsurge is so much more dramatic but, correct me if I'm wrong, most casualties are caused by rainwater flooding and land/mud slides that are the result thereof.

Good morning everyone and what is with the yellow circle?! When I went outside I was amazed at how quiet and still it was without all the wind oh, and I already got bit by a mosquito this morning so watch out they are out there. Too early in the morning to get gushy or mushy :) but I have thought a lot about it as the storm died down and I know I said it yesterday but thank you all for being here, going through it with me, and keeping the fresh info flowing 24 hours a day that was all invaluable to me.

Sea turtles are taking a bit hit from this storm. Nesting was up this year, in record numbers. But now most of those nests have been lost on many nesting beaches on the west coast. Depending on how this storm travels off the coast we may have erosion issues on the east coast as well. That will potentially damage the nesting there. Edited to add: Just saw Mark's comment #841.

Quoting Neapolitan: Officials are still unsure how many homes burnt in the Colorado Springs area yesterday; "it may be dozens, it may be hundreds". Full assessments later today. And this didn't help: RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO 505 PM MDT TUE JUN 26 2012 ...NEW ALL TIME RECORD HIGH SET IN COLORADO SPRINGS COLORADO... THE TEMPERATURE IN COLORADO SPRINGS REACHED 101 DEGREES AT 309 PM MDT...TO SET A NEW ALL TIME RECORD HIGH FOR COLORADO SPRINGS. THE PREVIOUS ALL TIME HIGH WAS 100 DEGREES...REACHED ON SIX OTHER OCCASIONS...JUNE 23RD 1954 AND 2012...JUNE 24TH 1954 AND 2012...JULY 13TH 1954...AND JULY 24TH 2003. THE 101 DEGREE READING ALSO SETS A NEW DAILY RECORD HIGH OF 98 DEGREES FOR JUNE 26TH SET IN 1994. THIS IS THE FIFTH CONSECUTIVE DAY OF RECORD TEMPERATURES IN COLORADO SPRINGS. Hoping for better news today... Manitou Springs had some relief a couple days ago but then the winds changed, and Colorado Springs was affected. If I'm reading the analysis correctly, La Nina predicts higher that average temperature for Colorado in late spring and early summer. If I have this wrong, please advise otherwise. Hopefully with the predicted transition to El Nino, there will be some relief for Colorado in the months to come. Member Since: September 1, 2007 Posts: 0 Comments: 1111

Quoting baulas: Sea turtles are taking a bit hit from this storm. Nesting was up this year, in record numbers. But now most of those nests have been lost on many nesting beaches on the west coast. Natures way of controlling the environment I guess. Member Since: Juni 2, 2010 Posts: 0 Comments: 1315
