MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - After making a shift toward the east later in the day, Tropical Storm Debby was in no hurry to move Sunday night.

According to NOAA's 10 p.m. advisory, the storm remained stationary, Debby was located at 28.3N, 86.0W with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph.

The center of the storm remained still, but the surrounding bands brought rain to the Florida panhandle. The storm has sustained winds of about 60 mph.

Models predict that the she will make landfall along the eastern Florida but storm's track is still unpredictable.

Though she is currently stalled, the large system's affects have been far reaching.

Beachgoers along the Gulf Coast faced dangerous water conditions and red flags flew warning people to stay out of the water or risk being swept under by rough surf or away by rip currents.

A man went missing in the waters off the Alabama Coast Sunday afternoon and search and rescue personnel still have not located the 32-year-old.

Roads in Dauphin Island, Ala. and Pensacola, Fla. have flooded, causing headaches for city officials, residents and tourists alike.

The tropical storm formed near the beginning of the week just off the Yucatan coast and forecasters expected it to become a tropical storm and push north but, just as it stands now, Debby's track was unpredictable.

Watches and warnings in effect as of 10 p.m. Sunday:

Tropical storm warnings:

The Mississippi-Alabama Border Eastward to the Suwannee River in Florida.

Tropical Storm Watches:

South of the Suwannee River to Englewood, Fla.
