Northern Florida, Southern Georgia, South Carolina into portions of Southeast North Carolina are about to see the heaviest rainfall in many years and quite possible historic rainfall amounts from Hurricane Debby. The hurricane strengthened overnight and is making landfall today along the coast of the Florida Big Bend area near Cedar Key. From here, Debby will be on a slow crawl northeastward and it may take all week for Debby to play out. This sets up for devastaing and potentially catastrophic rainfall in the areas noted above.
