SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * North of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina to Ocracoke Inlet, North Carolina A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case during the next several hours. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Debby was located near latitude 34.5 North, longitude 79.9 West. Debby is moving toward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h). The storm is expected to accelerate toward the north across central North Carolina through tonight. Debby is then expected to move faster toward the northeast across the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Friday and Atlantic Canada on Saturday. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Continued weakening is forecast, and Debby is likely to become a tropical depression this afternoon or evening. Debby should then merge with a front and become extratropical on Friday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195 miles (315 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations is 996 mb (29.42 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Debby can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue along the coast of northeastern South Carolina and portions of coastal North Carolina within the tropical storm warning area during the next several hours. STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Cape Fear to Ocracoke Inlet including the Neuse and Pamlico Rivers...1 to 3 ft For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?peakSurge. RAINFALL: Debby is expected to produce an additional 3 to 6 inches of rainfall with locally higher amounts, across portions of southeastern North Carolina leading to maximum storm total amounts as high as 15 inches. Additional rainfall of 1 to 3 inches over portions of eastern South Carolina will bring maximum storm total amounts as high as 20 to 25 inches. Considerable flooding is expected across portions of eastern South Carolina and southeast North Carolina through Friday. From central North Carolina northward across portions of Virginia, 3 to 7 inches with local amounts to 10 inches, are expected through Friday. This rainfall will likely result in areas of considerable to locally catastrophic flash and urban flooding, especially in the terrain of western Virginia, with river flooding also possible. From portions of Maryland north through Upstate New York and Vermont, 2 to 4 inches, with local amounts to 6 inches, are expected through Friday night. This will likely result in areas of considerable flash and urban flooding as well as river flooding. For the remainder of northern New England, 1 to 3 inches, with local amounts to 4 inches, are expected into Saturday. Scattered instances of flash flooding are possible. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Debby, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ero.

Issued at 500 AM EDT Thu Aug 08 2024 000 WTNT44 KNHC 080853 TCDAT4 Tropical Storm Debby Discussion Number 24 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042024 500 AM EDT Thu Aug 08 2024 Surface observations and satellite imagery suggest that Debby's circulation has become stretched out to the north and south, but the center appeared to make landfall around 0600 UTC in the Bulls Bay area of South Carolina. A shield of moderate to heavy rain has spread northward into North Carolina, while a trailing band of deep convection is located offshore the coast of South Carolina. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter mission that concluded around midnight measured peak 925-mb flight-level winds of 55 kt and SFMR winds of 40-45 kt well east of the center, and the current intensity is therefore estimated to be 45 kt. Debby's center has not yet made much headway into South Carolina since the initial motion is northwestward (325 deg) at only 4 kt. A strengthening ridge over the Atlantic should start giving Debby a push to the north today, with the center of the cyclone moving across eastern South Carolina and central North Carolina through tonight. A deep-layer trough over the Upper Midwest should then cause Debby to turn northeastward and accelerate over the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. Friday and Friday night and then over Atlantic Canada on Saturday. No significant changes were made to the NHC track forecast compared to the one in the previous advisory. Debby is expected to continue weakening as the center moves farther inland, and global model fields suggest that winds near the coast should fall below tropical storm force, with the cyclone becoming a depression, by this afternoon or evening. Model phase-space diagrams, and the convective pattern in simulated satellite imagery, then indicate that Debby will merge with a cold front and become extratropical over the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday. Debby is shown to be dissipated by day 4 based on continuity from the previous forecast, but it is possible that an area of low pressure could continue eastward over the north Atlantic for a few more days. Key Messages: 1. Heavy rainfall across portions of the Carolinas is expected to persist through today along with areas of considerable flooding. Heavy rainfall will also result in considerable flooding impacts across portions of the Mid-Atlantic States and Northeast through Saturday morning. 2. Tropical storm conditions will continue to affect portions of the South Carolina and North Carolina coasts today. 3. Coastal flooding due to storm surge is likely along portions of the South Carolina and North Carolina coastline through today.

Considerable flooding is expected across portions of eastern South Carolina and southeast North Carolina through Friday. From central North Carolina northward across portions of Virginia, 3 to 7 inches with local amounts to 10 inches, are expected through Friday. This rainfall will likely result in areas of considerable flash and urban flooding, with river flooding possible. From portions of Maryland north through Upstate New York and Vermont, 2 to 4 inches, with local amounts to 6 inches, are expected through Friday night. This will likely result in areas of considerable flash and urban flooding as well as river flooding. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Debby, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ero.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Edisto Beach, South Carolina to Surf City, North Carolina A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * North of Surf City, North Carolina to Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- Surface observations, satellite images, and radar data indicate that Debby has made landfall near Bulls Bay, South Carolina. At 200 AM EDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Debby was located on the coast near latitude 33.0 North, longitude 79.6 West. Debby is moving toward the northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h). This general motion is expected to continue through this morning. A faster motion toward the north and north-northeast across the Carolinas and the U.S. Mid-Atlantic states is expected later today and on Friday. Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft data indicate that maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast today as the center moves farther inland. Debby is expected to merge with a frontal boundary over the U.S. Mid-Atlantic states on Friday or Friday night. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km) mainly to the east of the center. The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations is 995 mb (29.38 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Debby can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue along the coast of South Carolina within the tropical storm warning area through today. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the tropical storm warning area and possible within the tropical storm watch area in North Carolina through today. STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... South Santee River to Ocracoke Inlet including the Neuse and Pamlico Rivers...1 to 3 ft For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?peakSurge. RAINFALL: Debby is expected to produce an additional 3 to 9 inches of rainfall with locally higher amounts, leading to maximum storm total amounts as high as 25 inches in eastern South Carolina and 15 inches in southeast North Carolina with considerable flooding expected across portions of eastern South Carolina and southeast North Carolina through Friday. An additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall with locally higher amounts is possible across southeast Georgia through today, bringing overall storm total amounts as high as 15 inches, which may aggravate any ongoing flooding conditions. From the Piedmont of South Carolina northward across portions of Virginia, 3 to 7 inches with local amounts to 10 inches, are expected through Friday. This rainfall will likely result in areas of considerable flash and urban flooding, with river flooding possible. From Maryland north through Upstate New York and Vermont, 2 to 4 inches, with local amounts to 6 inches, are expected through Saturday morning. This will likely produce considerable flash and urban flooding as well as river flooding. For Long Island and the remainder of New England, 1 to 2 inches, with local amounts to 4 inches, are expected into Saturday. Scattered instances of flash flooding are possible. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Debby, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?rainqpf and the Flash Flood Risk graphic at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?ero. For a list of rainfall observations (and wind reports) associated this storm, see the companion storm summary at WBCSCCNS4 with the WMO header ACUS44 KWBC or at the following link: www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc4.html. TORNADOES: A few tornadoes may occur over parts of eastern North Carolina early this morning. The risk of tornadoes will shift northward on Thursday into central North Carolina and central Virginia. SURF: Large swells will continue to affect the Southeast U.S. coast through the end of the week. These conditions are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 500 AM EDT. $$ Forecaster Berg

Issued at 1100 PM EDT Wed Aug 07 2024 000 WTNT44 KNHC 080232 TCDAT4 Tropical Storm Debby Discussion Number 23 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042024 1100 PM EDT Wed Aug 07 2024 Satellite imagery and surface observations indicate that Debby has a large central area of light and variable winds, with bands of deep convection well removed from the center in both the northern and southern semicircles. The initial intensity is held at 50 kt for this advisory, with these winds likely confined to the area of stronger convection to the southeast of the center. The central pressure based on surface observations is near 994 mb. Debby has been drifting just west of due north for the past several hours with an initial motion of 345/3. This has brought the center near the South Carolina coast, and it is expected to move inland during the next few hours. A continued slow north-northwestward motion is expected for the next 24 h, with the center crossing eastern South Carolina moving into North Carolina. After that, the cyclone should recurve to the north and northeast on the east side of a mid-latitude trough near the Great Lakes. The latest track guidance has shifted a little to the west of the previous guidance, and the new forecast track is also shifted a little westward. Little change in strength is expected before the center moves inland. After that, Debby is expected to weaken, with the system dropping below tropical-storm strength after 24 h. As Debby crosses through the mid-Atlantic States, the cyclone is expected to merge with a frontal system and become an extratropical low by 60 h. However, it is important to note that none of these changes will diminish the threat of heavy rainfall and flooding across portions of the Carolinas, Mid-Atlantic, and northeastern United States during the next few days. Key Messages: 1. Heavy rainfall across portions of the Carolinas is expected to persist through Thursday along with areas of considerable flooding. Expected heavy rainfall will also result in considerable flooding impacts across portions of the Mid-Atlantic States and Northeast through Saturday morning. 2. Tropical storm conditions will affect portions of the South Carolina and North Carolina coast through Thursday. Tropical storm warnings and watches are in effect for portions of that area. 3. Coastal flooding due to storm surge is likely along portions of the South Carolina and North Carolina coastline through Thursday.
