5 am NHC discussion:

After landfall, Debby is expected to slow down and turn
northeastward as the steering currents collapse, taking the system
across northern Florida and southeastern Georgia later today through Tuesday. Most of the models show Debby moving off the southeast U.S. coast late Tuesday and Wednesday before a ridge builds to the north of the system, which should push it back inland over South Carolina on Thursday.

Although the details of the track forecast are unknown, there is high confidence that Debby will move slowly while near or over the southeastern U.S., which will likely result in catastrophic flooding in some locations.
 
0z euro and 06z icon are about right on top of each other and 20mb different at 2nd landfall around Myrtle beach. Ukmet is east of that with landfall over cape fear around 987mb
