A tropical depression making its way towards the Florida coast is expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Debby Saturday before delivering heavy, flooding rainfall and dangerous storm surge to the state starting this weekend.
The system – currently dubbed Tropical Depression Four – is churning maximum sustained winds of 30 mph and is about 230 miles southeast of Key West, just off the coast of Cuba, according to the National Hurricane Center’s 2 a.m. ET update. The storm is expected to enter the eastern Gulf of Mexico on Saturday and become Tropical Storm Debby, according to the hurricane center. Tropical storm conditions could begin Saturday night in parts of southwest Florida.
Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency for 54 of the state’s 67 counties to mobilize resources as the storm churned towards the Sunshine State. “Floridians are encouraged to monitor weather conditions, listen to all orders from local officials, create disaster preparedness plans, and stock disaster supply kits with food, water, and other necessities for their households,” the governor’s office said Friday.
