Debby is so close to land her weather is basically making landfall... as in tropical storm conditions are being experienced over a good swath of land...

Even NHC has changed from N at 2 to NE at 6...

look at the weather warnings on the opening page of the site............

models did not do such a bad job, people did a bad job of reading the models... hey everyone makes mistakes, tropical forecasting is not for the faint of heart

the ULL was not weighted as strong as it should have been as everyone was looking north at the front
this is where the water vapor comes in hand

you have to match up all the data and models and if they don't make sense, you are missing something
