AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Ahead of possible impacts from Debby, some CSRA school districts are announcing closures.

Hurricane Debby made landfall Monday in one of the least populated areas of Florida and quickly lessened to a tropical storm again. But forecasters warned heavy rain from the slow-moving storm could spawn catastrophic flooding in Florida, South Carolina and Georgia. In the CSRA, southern and eastern counties are the most likely to be affected.

What’s ahead

Flooding is the main threat to the CSRA this week, although conditions will also be quite breezy tonight into Tuesday when sustained winds could be 20 to 25 mph with higher gusts between 40-60 mph.

Exactly where the storm goes beyond Tuesday is still a bit uncertain, but forward movement is expected to be painfully slow, and there is a chance it may re-emerge into Atlantic and restrengthen along the South Carolina on Tuesday night or Wednesday.
