Tropical Storm Debby to stay well east of North America

Debby formed about 1,200 miles east of Boston on Tuesday but is not expected to approach North America.

Initially, Debby was classified as a subtropical storm, with both tropical and non-tropical characteristics. Debby is currently a tropical storm.

AccuWeather meteorologists expect Debby to take a curved path to the northeast and not only remain east of New England but also pass well to the southeast of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Canada.

Debby will kick up seas for a brief time well offshore over the North Atlantic into the end of the week.

Because the storm is relatively weak, so far away and expected to have a short life span, swells propagating outward from the center are not likely to impact surf conditions significantly along the United States Atlantic coast.

During the middle to latter part of the week, while over progressively cooler waters, a non-tropical system is likely to absorb and shred Debbie, which will lead to its demise.
