WEST PALM BEACH, Fla — A tropical wave that has been moving west across the Caribbean has been battling to organize and continues to struggle

Strong headwinds have taken a toll on the wave and it does not look like it will encounter the right conditions to have a chance of development

The National Hurricane Center has downgraded that wave to a 0% chance of developing as it moves into the Bay of Campeche.

There is no threat to South Florida.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Debby continues to spin around just off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. It's a very slow-moving storm, moving at only 3 mph with winds of 60 mph.

It's expected to make a second landfall in South Carolina later today.

Once it's on land, it will start to dissipate as we head toward the end of the week.

Eventually, the remnants of Debby will spread very heavy rainfall across the northeast and, eventually, southeastern Canada, too.

Charleston and the rest of South Carolina could end up with an additional six to eight inches of rainfall before the system finally pulls away.
