Hurricane Debby has made landfall in Florida.

The National Hurricane Center said Debby, the second hurricane of 2024 in the Atlantic, moved onshore around 6 a.m. CDT Monday near Steinhatchee, Fla., in the Big Bend region.

The hurricane center estimated Debby’s winds to be around 80 mph at the time of landfall.

Debby could bring deadly storm surge to the Florida coast today, and then possibly historic rainfall to parts of the Southeast through the rest of this week, according to forecasters.

Debby continued to move inland on Monday.

As of 7 a.m. CDT Monday, the center of Hurricane Debby was located about 60 miles north-northwest of Cedar Key, Fla., and was moving north-northeast at 10 mph.

Debby’s winds had fallen from 80 mph to 75 mph, but Debby was still a Category 1 hurricane.

Hurricane and storm surge warnings continued for parts of Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The hurricane center said on its forecast track the center of Debby should move slowly across northern Florida and into southern Georgia today into Tuesday.

It could be near the Georgia coast by Tuesday night. The official forecast track shows the storm lingering off the coast for a few days as a tropical storm before possibly making a second landfall later this week in the Carolinas.

Debby could drop 10 to 20 inches of rain on parts of the Southeast through Saturday, and the hurricane center warned of potentially “catastrophic” flooding if those forecasts verify.

In addition, 6 to 10 feet of storm surge will be possible along the Florida coast this morning as Debby continues to move inland.

Here are the watches and warnings for Debby:

* A Storm Surge Warning is in effect for the Florida coast from the middle of Longboat Key northward to Indian Pass including, Tampa Bay, and the Georgia and South Carolina coasts from the mouth of the St. Mary’s River to the South Santee River in South Carolina.

* A Hurricane Warning is in effect for the Florida coast from the Yankeetown to Indian Pass.

* A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for the Florida coast south of Yankeetown to Boca Grande, the Florida coast from west of Indian Pass to Mexico Beach and from St. Augustine northward to the South Santee River in South Carolina.
