A gradual northeastward track through the Suwannee Valley inland to the FL/GA border is expected into the afternoon. The worst impacts should occur along and east of the track with heavy flooding rains being the primary concern. Flash flooding is likely occurring over Taylor-Dixie-Lafayette as of early this morning.

Attached, you'll find an updated briefing packet based on the August 5th 5 am ET advisory for Hurricane Debby. All active Tropical Watches & Warnings (including storm surge) remain unchanged. The existing Flood Watch also remains unchanged.
