The 13WMAZ weather team is continuing a Weather Impact Alert for Tuesday, as Tropical Storm Debby continues to bring rain and gusty winds to central Georgia.

Debby made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in the Big Bend area of Florida, and outer bands of showers are continuing to dump rain on the eastern half of central Georgia.

Debby went back down to tropical storm status as of Monday's 11 a.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center. As of the Tuesday 2 a.m. update, it has sustained winds of 45 mph, a central low-pressure of 998 MB, and is moving very slow to the northeast at 7 mph.

Around 7 a.m. Monday morning, Debby made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane near Steinhatchee, Florida. It sustained winds of 80 mph, a central low-pressure of 979 MB, and moved north-northeast at 10 mph.

Debby makes landfall just 20 miles away from where Hurricane Idalia did less than a year ago, making the second landfall of a hurricane the Big Bend area has seen within the last year.
