SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Debby was located inland near latitude 35.1 North, longitude 80.2 West. The depression is moving toward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h). A faster northward or north-northeastward motion is expected during the next day or two. Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next couple of days, but Debby is expected to become a post-tropical cyclone on Friday. The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations 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: Wind gusts to tropical-storm-force could occur for a few more hours along portions of the North Carolina coast. STORM SURGE: Coastal flooding is possible in the Cape Fear, 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.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Surf City 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 few 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 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Debby was located near inland latitude 34.8 North, longitude 80.2 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 are 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) east of the center. The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations 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 to continue along portions of coastal North Carolina within the tropical storm warning area during the few 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.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
Issued by the NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
200 PM EDT Thu Aug 8 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Debby, centered inland near the border of North Carolina
and South Carolina.

Near the Lesser and Greater Antilles:
A tropical wave located over the eastern tropical Atlantic is
producing widespread disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Any
development of the wave should be slow to occur during the next few
days while it moves westward across the central tropical Atlantic.
Conditions are expected to become more conducive for development
early next week, and a tropical depression could form while it
approaches the Lesser Antilles. The system is then forecast to move
generally west-northwestward and could approach the Greater Antilles
by the middle part of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Tropical Storm Debby Forecast Discussion Number 25

Thu, 08/08/2024 - 9:42am
Issued at 1100 AM EDT Thu Aug 08 2024 000 WTNT44 KNHC 081442 TCDAT4 Tropical Storm Debby Discussion Number 25 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042024 1100 AM EDT Thu Aug 08 2024 Debby continues to move farther inland with the center now located over northern South Carolina. Surface observations and radar data indicate that the strongest winds are likely occurring near the coast and just offshore of southern North Carolina. The highest sustained winds during the past couple of hours from reliable surface observation sites are near 30 kt with higher gusts. Based on the decreasing observed wind speeds, the initial intensity is lowered to 35 kt for this advisory. By far, the most significant threat with Debby continues to be flash flooding from heavy rainfall. Debby is starting to accelerate toward the north-northwest, with the current motion estimated at 345/9-kt. A ridge that is currently strengthening over the western Atlantic will cause Debby to accelerate northward, moving across central North Carolina this evening. Then, a deep-layer trough will approach the Great Lakes region on Friday, which will cause Debby to accelerate northeastward over the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. Friday and Friday night and then over Atlantic Canada on Saturday. There are only minor changes to the track forecast, hedging toward the latest consensus models. Debby should continue to weaken as it moves farther inland, and most of the models indicate that the winds near the coast should decrease a bit more later today. Debby is expected to weaken to a tropical depression by this afternoon or evening. Model phase space diagrams show that Debby should complete transition to an extratropical cyclone in about 24 to 30 h. The current satellite imagery shows that Debby is already starting to interact with the jet stream, which extends toward the east-northeast over the North Atlantic. Debby is now expected to complete extratropical transition in about 24 h as the cyclone merges with a cold front while over the mid-Atlantic states. Beyond Friday, models show a post-tropical Debby becoming extremely elongated along the cold front, which will eventually lead to dissipation. The new NHC forecast has Debby dissipating Sunday morning, but that could occur sooner. 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 to locally catastrophic flooding impacts across portions of the Mid-Atlantic States and Northeast through Saturday morning. 2. Tropical storm conditions will continue for several more hours in the Tropical Storm Warning area along the coast of northeastern South Carolina and portions of North Carolina. 3. Coastal flooding due to storm surge is likely to continue along portions of the North Carolina coastline for several more hours.

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. For a list of rainfall observations (and wind reports) associated with 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 today and tonight from central and eastern North Carolina into central and southeast Virginia. SURF: Large swells will continue to affect the Southeast U.S. coast for another day or two. These conditions are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 PM EDT. Next complete advisory at 500 PM EDT. $$ Forecaster Hagen/Cangialosi

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 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Debby was located inland over South Carolina near latitude 34.1 North, longitude 79.9 West. Debby is moving toward the northwest near 7 mph (11 km/h). The storm is expected to accelerate toward the north-northwest and north across eastern South Carolina and 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 are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Continued weakening is forecast during the next day or so, 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 185 miles (295 km) to the east of the center. A sustained wind of 36 mph (57 km/h) and a gust to 39 mph (63 km/h) was recently reported at Cape Lookout, North Carolina. 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 coasts of South Carolina and North Carolina within the tropical storm warning area for much of the day. 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 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 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.

Tropical Storm Debby Forecast Discussion Number 24

Thu, 08/08/2024 - 3:53am
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.
