Tropical Storm Debby is expected to track very slowly northward from its
Tuesday afternoon position near the southern South Carolina coast through
Thursday night, after briefly moving back out over the western Atlantic
ocean tonight. The slow movement will continue to support areas of heavy
rain which are going to fall over the central and eastern Carolinas over
the next 48 hours. Additional rainfall totals of 10-20 inches, with
maximum amounts of 25 inches, are expected which will likely result in
areas of catastrophic flooding. Urban and areal flooding along with major
flooding of area rivers and streams are expected due to the excessive
runoff of heavy rain. In addition, Debby will bring a threat for tornadoes
to coastal sections of the Carolinas through tomorrow, spreading northward
into southeastern Virginia for Thursday. For additional information on
Debby, please visit hurricanes.gov.
Farther north into the norther Mid-Atlantic region, deep moisture related
to Debby along with a slow moving cold front and favorable wind shear
aloft will support the generation of thunderstorms through tonight from
portions of eastern Ohio into the New York City metro region. These
thunderstorms will be capable of severe winds and a couple of tornadoes
along with areas of flash flooding. While the threat for severe
thunderstorms looks diminished on Wednesday for the northern Mid-Atlantic
region, an increased potential for flash flooding will remain from
southern New Jersey into eastern Maryland and the remaining Delmarva
Peninsula.
