- The fourth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Debby, has reached Category 1 storm strength according to the National Hurricane Center. It is expected that Debby will further intensify before making landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida on Monday morning.
- The storm began releasing rain as a tropical storm in parts of the state on Sunday and is anticipated to bring potentially historic amounts of rainfall over the southeastern United States. Several schools in the storm's projected path have canceled classes for Monday, including the University of Florida and Georgia Southern University.
- Prior to the arrival of the storm, hazardous conditions were observed off Florida's coast. Two boaters had to be rescued after their boat lost its sail amidst 15- to 20-foot waves and 50-knot winds.
- A forecast indicates that the storm will hit the Big Bend coast around midday on Monday, following which Debby is expected to move slowly across northern Florida and southern Georgia throughout the day. The primary threat will be flooding, stemming from storm surges of up to 10 feet and heavy rainfall. Freshwater flooding has become a deadly aspect of tropical systems in the last decade.
