'''Tropical Storm Debby''' was the fifth [[tropical cyclone|tropical storm]] of the [[2006 Atlantic hurricane season]]. Debby formed just off the coast of [[Africa]] on August 21 from a [[tropical wave]]. After passing near the [[Cape Verde]] islands, Debby moved generally northwestward for much of its life, reaching a peak intensity of 50&nbsp;mph (85&nbsp;km/h). Strong [[wind shear]] weakened the storm, and Debby dissipated on August 27 over the northern [[Atlantic Ocean]].

Early in its life, Debby was forecasted to pass through the southern [[Cape Verde]] [[island]]s as a tropical storm, possibly causing life-threatening [[flood]]ing. Most computer models consistently predicted Debby to move to the northwest throughout its lifetime, though intensity was more of a problem for forecasters. The [[National Hurricane Center]] continually predicted Debby to strengthen into hurricane status, though strong vertical shear eventually prevented the storm from becoming a hurricane.
