ORANGE BEACH, Ala. – The Tropical Storm Warning from the Florida-Alabama border to Destin has been discontinued, the National Hurricane Center reported this morning.

Overnight storm predictors changed the path of slow-moving Tropical Storm Debby and now say it will go into Florida’s west coast sometime this week.

The tropical storm watch from the Suwannee River to Englewood has been changed to a Tropical Storm Warning. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Florida Gulf Coast from Destin to Englewood.

At 10 a.m. the center of Tropical Storm Debby was located near latitude 28.6 north and longitude 85.2 west. Debby is moving toward the northeast near 3 mph. A slow motion toward the northeast or east-northeast is expected during the next couple of days. 

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 45 mph with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected during the next day or two.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles mainly to the southeast of the center.
