By Alex Harris, Miami HeraldThis satellite image provided by NOAA shows Tropical Storm Debby as it moves through the Gulf of Mexico toward Florida on Sunday, Aug. 4, 2024.
The flooding rain threat for South Florida appeared to be gone by Sunday morning, along with most watches and warnings, but the potential for life-threatening storm surge and intense rain with “considerable flooding” for the Big Bend region increased overnight. Tornado watches and warnings continued to pop up over Southwest Florida on Sunday.
Overnight, the messy tropical storm appeared to get its act together, picking up speed and forming a more defined center swirl. Now, forecasters said, it has a path ahead of it lined with very warm water and low wind shear — great conditions for storms to get stronger.
