DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM EDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Debby was
located near latitude 31.2 North, longitude 81.9 West. Debby is
moving toward the northeast near 7 mph (11 km/h). A turn toward the
east is expected today, followed by a turn to the north at a
slow forward speed on Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center
will move across southeastern Georgia this morning, and then off the
Georgia coast later today and on Wednesday, and approach the South
Carolina coast on Thursday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some slight weakening is possible today. Some
re-strengthening is possible on Wednesday and Thursday when
Debby is off the southeastern U.S. coast.
Recent satellite-derived wind data and surface observations
indicate that tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 200
miles (320 km) east of the center. A weather station on Tybee
Island, Georgia, recently reported a sustained wind of 43 mph (69
km/h) and a gust to 54 mph (87 km/h). A station on Folly Island,
South Carolina, recently reported a sustained wind of 41 mph (67
km/h) and a gust to 52 mph (83 km/h).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 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 over portions of the
tropical storm warning area along the Florida and Georgia Atlantic
coast through this morning. Tropical storm conditions are
expected along the coast of South Carolina within the tropical
storm warning area by this morning. Tropical storm conditions are
possible within the tropical storm watch area in North Carolina
beginning Wednesday night.
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...
Mouth of the St. Mary's River to Cape Fear, NC...2-4 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 potentially historic
rainfall totals of 10 to 20 inches, with maximum amounts of 30
inches, bringing areas of catastrophic flooding across portions of
eastern Georgia, the coastal plain of South Carolina, and southeast
North Carolina through Wednesday. Across portions of central and
northeast North Carolina, 6 to 12 inches of rainfall, with local
amounts to 18 inches, are expected through Saturday morning. This
rainfall will likely result in areas of considerable flash and urban
flooding, with significant river flooding expected.
An additional scattered 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, with maximum
amounts of 4 inches is possible across western portions of the
Central Florida Peninsula which may aggravate any ongoing flooding
conditions across that area.
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 are possible over southeastern Georgia
and coastal South Carolina tonight through today.
SURF: Swells generated by Debby are expected to affect much of the
Gulf coast of Florida through tonight. Swells will continue to
affect the Southeast U.S. coast through the middle of the week.
These conditions are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.

Tropical Storm Debby Forecast Discussion Number 15
Issued at 1100 PM EDT Mon Aug 05 2024
000
WTNT44 KNHC 060239
TCDAT4
Tropical Storm Debby Discussion Number 15
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042024
1100 PM EDT Mon Aug 05 2024
The center of Debby has continued to move northeastward over
southeastern Georgia this evening. Earlier in the evening, there
were a few reports of sustained winds of 34-36 kt along portions of
the Georgia coast, which supported the 40-kt intensity on the
intermediate advisory at 0000 UTC. Although there have not been
reports that high in the past hour or two, the initial intensity is
maintained at 40 kt as the strongest winds are likely occuring in
bands offshore.
The initial motion estimate is 050/5 kt. The steering currents are
forecast to weaken further over the next couple of days, and
a slow eastward motion should begin on Tuesday when Debby is near
the Georgia coast. An even slower northward motion is expected on
Wednesday, which should bring the center toward the coast of South
Carolina Wednesday night or Thursday. Toward the end of the week,
most of the track guidance suggests that Debby may begin to move a
little faster toward the north in southerly flow between a
building ridge over the western Atlantic and a mid-level trough
over the Great Lakes and southern Canada. Although there is still
low confidence in the specifics of the track forecast, there is high
confidence that Debby will be meandering near the southeastern U.S.
coast for the next few days. The latest NHC track forecast is
similar to the HFIP corrected consensus model (HCCA) through 72
hours and lies between that model and the simple multi-model
consensus (TVCA) at the longer range.
Debby is likely to weaken a little more while it moves over land
through early Tuesday. After that, the center is forecast to move
offshore, which should allow for some gradual re-intensification.
The NHC intensity forecast follows the bulk of the guidance and
shows only modest strengthening before the center moves back
onshore.
Given the sluggish forward motion of Debby, extremely large rainfall
amounts are expected over portions of the Southeastern United
States.
Key Messages:
1. Potentially historic heavy rainfall across southeast Georgia and
the coastal plain of South Carolina through Saturday morning will
likely result in areas of catastrophic flooding. Heavy rainfall will
likely result in considerable flooding impacts for portions of
central and northern Florida and across portions of central and
northeast North Carolina through Saturday morning.
2. Dangerous storm surge and tropical storm conditions will spread
northward along the southeast U.S. coast from northeastern Florida
to North Carolina through the middle of the week. Storm surge and
tropical storm watches and warnings have been issued for portions of
these areas. Residents in the storm surge watch and warning area
should follow any advice given by local officials.
3. In portions of Florida where Debby has passed, deadly hazards
remain, including downed power lines and flooded areas. Ensure
generators are properly ventilated to avoid carbon monoxide
poisoning. Exercise caution when using chainsaws and power tools,
and drink plenty of water to avoid heat exhaustion.

from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb (29.44 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 over portions of the
tropical storm warning area along the Florida and Georgia Atlantic
coast through early Tuesday. Tropical storm conditions are
expected along the coast of South Carolina within the tropical
storm warning area by late tonight or early Tuesday. Tropical
storm conditions are possible within the tropical storm watch area
in North Carolina beginning Wednesday night.
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...
Mouth of the St. Mary's River to Cape Fear, NC...2-4 ft
For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation,
please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Debby was
located near latitude 30.7 North, longitude 82.4 West. Debby is
moving toward the northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h). A turn toward the
east is expected on Tuesday, followed by a turn to the north at a
slow forward speed on Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center
will move across southeastern Georgia tonight and Tuesday, move
offshore of the South Carolina coast by late Tuesday and Wednesday,
and approach the South Carolina coast on Thursday.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 45 mph (75 km/h)
with higher gusts. Some slight additional weakening is forecast
tonight and Tuesday. Some re-strengthening is possible on Wednesday
and Thursday when Debby moves off the southeastern U.S. coast.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.41 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 over portions of the
tropical storm warning area along the Florida and Georgia Atlantic
coast through tonight. Tropical storm conditions are expected along
the coast of South Carolina within the tropical storm warning area
by late tonight or early Tuesday. Tropical storm conditions are
possible within the tropical storm watch area in South and North
Carolina beginning Wednesday.
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...
Mouth of the St. Mary's River to Cape Fear, NC...2-4 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 rainfall totals of 6 to 12
inches, with maximum amounts of 18 inches, across portions of
central and northern Florida as well as central and northeast North
Carolina through Wednesday morning. This rainfall will likely
result in areas of considerable flash and urban flooding, with
significant river flooding expected.
Across portions of southeast Georgia, the coastal plain of South
Carolina, and southeast North Carolina, 10 to 20 inches of rainfall,
with local amounts to 30 inches, are expected through Saturday
morning. This potentially historic rainfall will likely result in
areas of catastrophic flooding.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding
associated with Hurricane 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:

TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible over southeastern Georgia
and coastal South Carolina this evening through Tuesday.
SURF: Swells generated by Debby are expected to affect much of the
Gulf coast of Florida through tonight. Swells will continue to
affect the Southeast U.S. coast through the middle of the week.
These conditions are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather
office.

TCDAT4
Tropical Storm Debby Discussion Number 14
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042024
500 PM EDT Mon Aug 05 2024
Debby continues to move over land, and based on surface synoptic
and radar observations the center is estimated to be near the
Florida/Georgia border. Assuming a continued weakening since
landfall, the intensity estimate has been reduced to 45 kt, which is
reasonably consistent with the latest WSR-88D radar velocities
aloft.
Debby continues to move through a weakness in the subtropical high,
and the forward motion has slowed to about 035/6 kt. The cyclone
is expected to turn eastward, while moving quite slowly, in a
region of weak steering currents for the next couple of days. This
motion should bring the center of the system back over water by
late Tuesday. In around 72 hours, a mid-level ridge to the east
of Debby is forecast to build somewhat, and as a result, the center
should move inland over South Carolina and turn northward and
northeastward over the eastern U.S. for the remainder of the
forecast period. The NHC track forecast is similar to the previous
one and is in good agreement with the corrected model consensus,
HCCA, guidance.
The tropical cyclone should continue to weaken while it moves over
land for the next day or so. By late Tuesday, assuming the center
of the system moves back over water, some re-intensification is
forecast. The NHC forecast continues to show only modest
restrengthening due to the uncertainties, although this may be
conservative.
Given the sluggish forward motion of Debby, extremely large amounts
of rainfall over the Southeastern U.S. is anticipated.
Key Messages:
1. Potentially historic heavy rainfall across southeast Georgia and
the coastal plain of South Carolina through Saturday morning will
likely result in areas of catastrophic flooding. Heavy rainfall will
likely result in considerable flooding impacts from portions of
central and northern Florida and across portions of central and
northeast North Carolina through Saturday morning.
2. Dangerous storm surge and tropical storm conditions will spread
northward along the southeast U.S. coast from northeastern Florida
to North Carolina through the middle of the week. Storm Surge and
Tropical Storm watches and warnings have been issued for portions of
these areas. Residents in the Storm Surge watch and warning area
should follow any advice given by local officials.
3. In portions of Florida where Debby has passed, deadly hazards
remain, including downed power lines and flooded areas. Ensure
generators are properly ventilated to avoid carbon monoxide
poisoning. Exercise caution when using chainsaws and power tools,
and drink plenty of water to avoid heat exhaustion.
