While Hurricane Debby moves across Northern Florida today, we are sitting in the steam bath today though it isn't quite as bad as we saw last week. Today over Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England it is going to be a hot humid day. Thunderstorm activity however is probably going to minimal unless you are north of Route 84. This is where the Storm Prediction Center has elevated risk for severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and tonight. The area covers much of Northern Ohio, Northern Pennsylvania, much of Upstate NY and interior New England as far north as Maine. As for temperatures here, sunshine should take highs into the upper 80s and lower 90s this afternoon. We will throw in the chance for an isolated shower or thunderstorm but activity should be far less than the last several days.

CNN’s Derek Van Dam breaks down Debby’s path as the storm strengthens to a Category 1 hurricane ahead of expectedly making landfall in Florida. 

Debby strengthens to Cat 1 hurricane ahead of predicted landfall

The system we have been monitoring gained a bit of strength and became a tropical depression late last night. Tropical Depression 4 will emerge over the Florida Straits on Saturday and travel over the very warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The track has shifted westward, with a more pronounced curve which keeps it over the warm waters a bit longer and gives it more time to become stronger. It also delayed its landfall, and it is now expected to make landfall early on Monday morning in the Big Bend region, as a strong tropical storm or category 1 hurricane. A hurricane watch is in effect for the Big Bend. This means hurricane conditions will start within the next 48 hours. A tropical storm warning is in effect from Southwest Florida through the Tampa Bay area to Inglis.
