Tropical Weather – Debby
Tropical Storm Debby
Update: June 27, 2012 – 9:00am
Tropical Depression Debby with only maximum sustained winds of 35mph is currently moving offshore and we will continue to experience improving conditions throughout the day. At this point, there are no reports of serious impacts from the storm to Campus as it moved through the area overnight.
Currently, besides a Lake Wind Advisory (issued for small boats), there are no watches or warnings impacting the UF Campus. Additionally, no tropical watches or warnings re in place for any portion of the Florida coastline.
A slight chance of showers (10%) remains for today with clearing conditions beginning now through this afternoon as TD Debby continues to move east. The Flood Watch for Alachua County has been discontinued though a Flood Warning remains for areas along and near the Santa Fe River.

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL
STORM JERRY...LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC.
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA HAS CHANGED
LITTLE IN ORGANIZATION OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...WITH MOST OF
THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY LOCATED TO THE EAST OF THE
LOW. SOME DEVELOPMENT OF THIS DISTURBANCE IS POSSIBLE DURING THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WHILE IT MOVES NORTHWESTWARD AT AROUND 10
MPH...AND THIS SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE...30 PERCENT...OF
BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. UPPER-LEVEL
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT WHEN
THE DISTURBANCE MOVES OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO LATER THIS
WEEK...AND THE SYSTEM HAS A MEDIUM CHANCE...50 PERCENT...OF
BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 5 DAYS. LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINS COULD AFFECT PORTIONS OF JAMAICA...CUBA...AND THE CAYMAN
ISLANDS DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.

BASED ON DATA FROM A RECENT ASCAT OVERPASS AND A BLEND OF DVORAK INTENSITY ESTIMATES FROM TAFB AND SAB...THE CURRENT INTENSITY IS KEPT AT 40 KT. ANIMATION OF WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS A LARGE MID- TO UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH MOVING SOUTHWARD INTO THE STORM...SO STRENGTHENING DOES NOT APPEAR LIKELY IN THE SHORT TERM. LATER IN THE FORECAST PERIOD...WESTERLY SHEAR SHOULD CONTINUE TO PREVENT MUCH...IF ANY...INTENSIFICATION. BY 5 DAYS...EVEN STRONGER SHEAR IS LIKELY TO CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO WEAKEN...ALTHOUGH THIS COULD OCCUR SOONER. THE OFFICIAL INTENSITY FORECAST IS A LITTLE ABOVE THE MODEL CONSENSUS BUT BELOW THE STATISTICAL-DYNAMICAL LGEM GUIDANCE. THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE RECENT MOVEMENT...SO THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS STATIONARY. JERRY IS CURRENTLY SITUATED IN A REGION OF WEAK STEERING CURRENTS...BUT MOST OF THE TRACK GUIDANCE INDICATE THAT THE CYCLONE WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTHWARD BETWEEN TWO MID-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE AREAS OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. AFTERWARD...THE STORM IS FORECAST TO TURN NORTHEASTWARD AND EAST-NORTHEASTWARD AS IT COMES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE HIGHER-LATITUDE WESTERLIES. THE OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ONE AND LIES BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF SOLUTIONS. THE WIND RADII WERE ADJUSTED BASED ON THE RECENT SCATTEROMETER PASS.
