Debby is coming...

but probably not to the U.S. The storm, which right now is WAY out near the Cape Verde Islands, is probably a Depression already (but they wait to call it a T.D. until it holds together for a day if it's that far out), & looks very impressive. The experts think it'll become a CAT 1 Hurricane (Debby, & our first hurricane of the year), but veer north before it gets to the U.S.

There are however a bunch of features out there, & the wind shear which has been killing everything to date is dropping, so watch out...I hope our Tybee Island Labor Day trip is a go!

UPDATE: As soon as I wrote this, TD-4 has just officially formed, with Tropical Storm Warnings for the Cape Verde Islands. Expected max winds are 70 MPH (strong T.S.). No word on tracks yet, but most likely missing the U.S.
