Here are the specifics for Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia based on the current forecast track:

RAINFALL: Scattered gusty showers will continue to spin around Debby today for Northeast Florida and especially Southeast Georgia. An additional 1-3 inches of rainfall is possible in spots from Jacksonville north into Brunswick. Less than a 10th of an inch for Lake City, FL. 1-2″ for Waycross, GA.

WIND: Sustained winds will average 15-25 mph with gusts of 30 mph+ in Jacksonville. SE Georgia will see gusts of 40+ mph on Tuesday. This could bring down a few trees with saturated soils.

OCEAN: Seas will average 8 - 12 + feet off the Ga. & Fl. coast. Surf will be to 6-10+ feet. There will be an offshore wind, so surfers will be out. Be sure to have a buddy or swim near a lifeguard as rip currents will be present.
