** Major & -- in some cases historic -- flooding continues with a crest on the St. Mary's in Macclenny of 24.2' occurring Thu. with only a very slow drop though tributaries could still go higher -- this record crest surpasses the flooding from "Dora" in Sept., 1964.  Major flooding on the Santa Fe River is just getting underway with a crest in Ft. White Monday of 33.5' ** .  Large rivers take longer to rise & fall so there's a lag between the heaviest rain & the worst flooding.  Check out some of the remarkable rainfall across the First Coast since May 27th -- last image below.

What's left of "Debby" is moving west & northwest of Bermuda & will soon move into the N. Atlantic. 

A cluster of t'storms has developed over the Western Gulf.  This is sort of on the tail end of the trough that extends from "Debby" across the Fl. Straits, Cuba & into the Yucatan Peninsula.  Any development would be slow with a slow drift to the west or northwest.  Forecast models don't indicate surface low pressure forming in this area, but it's something to watch.

A weak tropical wave is well east of the Lesser Antilles & moving west.  Lots of dry air to its west so development -- if any at all -- will be very slow.
