The low pressure zone that moved through the west of the country during the early afternoon emerged into the Gulf of Mexico. During this period, it produced rain over the west and center, with an accumulated amount of 83 millimeters in Topes de Collantes, Sancti Spíritus between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. today.
In the last few hours, this system has shown signs of better organization, with an increase in the areas of rain near its center of circulation, which is why it has become Tropical Storm Debby, the fourth this season. Its maximum sustained winds are 65 kilometers per hour, with higher gusts, and its minimum central pressure is 1007 hectopascals.
At 5 p.m., the center of this tropical storm was located at 23.9 degrees north latitude and 83.2 degrees west longitude, a position that places it 115 kilometers northwest of Havana. It is moving northwest at 24 kilometers per hour.
In the next 12 to 24 hours it will move towards the north-northwest, inclining to the north tomorrow Sunday, moving away from our country, in an environment favorable for it to gain more organization and intensity.
This situation will maintain a humid flow from the south over the west of the country, so rains will persist in the western region, and may become strong and intense, especially in the provinces of Pinar del Río to Mayabeque, including the special municipality of Isla de la Juventud.
The next tropical cyclone advisory for this storm will be issued at 6 a.m. Sunday.
