The text reads, “Tropical Storm Debby is forecast to bring heavy rain to portions of Florida and the Southeast this week. Rainfall totals of 6 to 12 inches, with maximum amounts up to 18 inches, are expected in northern Florida. Rainfall totals of 10 to 20 inches, with localized amounts up to 30 inches, are expected for portions of southeast Georgia and South Carolina.

ALT A broad area of low pressure is forecast to form over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico in a day or two. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form by the middle part of next week while the system moves slowly westward or west-northwestward. Regardless of development, several days of heavy rainfall are expected across portions of southern Mexico and Central America. These rains are likely to cause life-threatening flooding and flash flooding. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
