[June 27, 2012]  (AP)  Torrential rainfall will continue to bring substantial flooding to Florida and portions of the Southeast on Wednesday as the remains of Tropical Storm Debby push across the Florida Peninsula.

While Debby is expected to be downgraded to a tropical depression by morning, heavy rainfall will be the primary threat to the region, and anyone in the area should remain attentive to weather conditions. As inland flooding remains a major threat, coastal flooding will diminish substantially as the strongest winds move over land. Southwestern Florida could still see some slightly elevated water levels, but no significant flooding is likely.

While the storm will focus most of its energy on Florida, the Georgia coast could continue to see some strong winds, rain and minor flooding.

Elsewhere, the Northeast will continue to see cloud cover with rain in New England as a slow-moving storm drifts slowly into eastern Canada. This storm will help bring cool temperatures to New England and the Mid-Atlantic.

The southern and central Plains will remain hot on Wednesday, with temperatures once again reaching well into the triple digits. The northern Plains will see a cooldown, however, as a cold front moves through. The front will produce some cloud cover, but rain is not expected.

In the West, more clear skies and pleasant temperatures are anticipated.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Tuesday ranged from a morning low of 32 degrees at Mount Shasta, Calif., to a high of 109 degrees at Hays, Kan.
