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.

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 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.

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. 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.

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.
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

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 this morning. The tornado threat will shift northward
later today into central North Carolina and southern to central
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.

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.
