Hezbollah’s conflict with Israel has already damaged south Lebanon. Now it could escalate, regardless of what anyone else in Lebanon thinks.

Issued at 500 AM EDT Tue Aug 06 2024 383 WTNT44 KNHC 060851 TCDAT4 Tropical Storm Debby Discussion Number 16 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042024 500 AM EDT Tue Aug 06 2024 Debby's center is just inland of the Georgia coast while most of the deep convection is oriented in a couple of bands over the Atlantic waters feeding northwestward into South Carolina. Scatterometer data from late last evening indicated that the tropical-storm-force wind field had expanded eastward over the Atlantic waters, and that the maximum sustained winds were near 40 kt. This was confirmed by a few observations of 35-40 kt sustained winds along the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina. The initial intensity is therefore held at 40 kt. Debby continues to move northeastward, or 050/6 kt, but the storm will be trapped in a weak steering regime for the next couple of days. The center is likely to move offshore the Georgia coast later today, but then meander off the coast of South Carolina through early Thursday. After that time, a strengthening ridge over the western Atlantic and an approaching mid-latitude trough over the upper Midwest should cause Debby to move faster toward the north across the Carolinas and then into the Mid-Atlantic region late this week. The updated NHC track forecast is a bit west of the previous forecast starting at about 48 hours, trending in the direction of the HCCA and TVCA consensus aids. Little change in Debby's intensity is expected today and tonight as the center moves offshore. However, some strengthening is forecast beginning on Wednesday due to the storm being in a low-shear environment and over very warm waters of about 29 degrees Celsius. The NHC intensity forecast continues to show a peak intensity of 50 kt in 48 hours, just before the center reaches the coast again, which is near the top end of the guidance. Weakening is expected to begin in 60 hours once the center moves inland. The cyclone is likely to merge with a front over the eastern United States in 4 to 5 days. Key Messages: 1. Potentially historic heavy rainfall across southeast Georgia and eastern South Carolina through Friday will likely result in areas of catastrophic flooding. Heavy rainfall will likely result in flooding impacts from northern North Carolina through portions of Mid-Atlantic States and southern New England through Sunday 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.

For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov. This is a life-threatening situation. Persons located within these areas should take all necessary actions to protect life and property from rising water and the potential for other dangerous conditions. Promptly follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. A Storm Surge Watch means there is a possibility of life- threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline, in the indicated locations during the next 48 hours. For a depiction of areas at risk, please see the National Weather Service Storm Surge Watch/Warning Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov. 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, generally within 48 hours. Interests elsewhere along the southeastern coast of the United States should monitor the progress of this system. Additional watches or warnings may be required later today. 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 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Debby was located inland over southeastern Georgia near latitude 31.6 North, longitude 81.6 West. Debby is moving toward the northeast near 7 mph (11 km/h). A slower motion toward the east and then north is expected through Thursday night. On the forecast track, the center of Debby is expected to move offshore the coast of Georgia later today, drift offshore through early Thursday, and then move inland over South Carolina on Thursday. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast on Wednesday and Thursday while Debby drifts offshore. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km) to the east of the center. A weather station on Folly Beach, South Carolina, recently reported a sustained wind of 41 mph (67 km/h) and a gust to 53 mph (85 km/h). The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 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 northeastern Florida and Georgia coasts through this morning. Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue along the coast of South Carolina within the tropical storm warning area through Thursday night. 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... Altamaha Sound, GA 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 25 inches, bringing areas of catastrophic flooding across portions of southeast Georgia, the eastern half of South Carolina, and southeast North Carolina through Friday. From northern North Carolina through portions of the Mid-Atlantic States, 4 to 8 inches of rainfall, with local amounts to 12 inches, are expected through Sunday morning. This rainfall will likely result in areas of considerable flash and urban flooding, with river flooding possible. An additional scattered 1 to 2 inches of rainfall, with maximum amounts of 4 inches is possible across western portion of the Central Florida Peninsula today which may aggravate any ongoing flooding conditions across that vicinity. 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 coastal South Carolina tonight through early Wednesday morning. 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 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.

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.

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.
