(19 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 45 m.p.h. (75 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 60 m.p.h. (95 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1003 mb.<\/p>\n
The structure of former Subtropical Storm Debby changed on Wednesday and it exhibited the characteristics of a tropical storm.\u00a0 More thunderstorms formed around the center of circulation and those thunderstorms rose higher into the atmosphere.\u00a0 Additional bands of showers and thunderstorms developed and revolved around the core of the circulation.\u00a0 Storms near the core began to generate upper level divergence.\u00a0 The strongest winds occurred closer to the center of circulation.\u00a0 The National Hurricane Center designated Debby as a tropical storm based on information from satellites.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Debby will move into an environment unfavorable for a tropical storm during the next 24 to 48 hours.\u00a0\u00a0 Debby was over water where the Sea Surface Temperature was near 26\u00b0C, but it will soon move over much cooler water.\u00a0 It will start to weaken when it moves over the cooler water.\u00a0 It could take several days for the circulation around Tropical Storm Debby to spin down.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Debby will be steered toward the northeast as it moves between an upper level trough to the west and an upper level ridge to the east.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Storm Debby will move between the Azores and Greenland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
