TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — A Tornado Watch has been issued for Thomas, Jefferson, Brooks, Madison, Taylor, Lowndes, Lanier, Clinch, Echols, Hamilton, Suwannee, and Lafayette counties until 6am EDT Monday morning. Leon County and the city of Tallahassee is no longer under a Tornado Watch.

As the outer bands of Debby start to move through the region, brief tornado spin-ups are possible. Tornado spin-ups in tropical systems are typical weak and brief but wrapped in rain, and move very quickly. This means it is hard to spot them, and if a tornado warning is issued, you should shelter in the lowest level of your home away from windows.
