Still a good bit to be determined with regards to now Hurricane Debby’s eventual track/progression into the southeastern US and presumably further up the eastern seaboard this week. The certainty at this point is that this is likely to be an extremely prolific rainmaker in FL/GA/SC/NC. Most guidance tries to bring Debby back out into water off the GA/SC coast before making a second landfall, and then becomes the issue of what it does after that. There’s no real strong trough diving down to pick this up or anything, so it will be slow moving/meandering for a good portion of the week. I suspect the most likely scenario is it eventually gets drawn up the east coast late in the week in some fashion as generally suggested by the Euro/Canadian/ICON, etc. The GFS has been basically sending Debby directly back where it came from after it emerges off the GA coast and then stalling further towards AL and the FL panhandle. A possibility but probably a less likely scenario. 

In terms of eventual direct C-PA impacts. The Euro suite (op/ensemble/AI version) currently seem most supportive of the more traditional tropical remnant swath of precip tracking thru a fairly sizable portion of C-PA (best chances for bigger totals in the Sus Valley portion). The GFS/GEFS despite its unusual tracking would still eventually draw up significant moisture into PA anyways but not the remnant low itself. 

In the meantime we have a shortwave rounding the top of the ridge that will provide shower/thunderstorm chances centered on Tuesday night, as the ridge is centered west this week and we are positioned on the rim. This additionally could provide a swath of heavier rainfall somewhere in C-PA in the form of a more organized cluster of storms. This feature also probably figures to influence Debby’s track in some form as well, likely drawing her track back NW. But at the least, this feature provides the best chance of rain this week for western and central PA, where the current probabilities of significant rain from Debby’s remnants are less than that of the eastern third.

previous assessment.
- PLAN: Plan for hazardous wind of equivalent tropical storm
force.
- PREPARE: Efforts to protect property should now be
underway. Prepare for limited wind damage.
- ACT: Act now to complete preparations before the wind
becomes hazardous.

- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
- Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
- Large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or
uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees
are shallow rooted.
- Some roads impassable due to debris, particularly within
urban or heavily wooded locations. Hazardous driving
conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways,
especially for high profile vehicles.

* STORM SURGE
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible
- Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 2-4 feet
above ground somewhere within surge prone areas

surge flooding greater than 3 feet above ground
- The storm surge threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.
- PLAN: Plan for life-threatening storm surge flooding of
greater than 3 feet above ground.
- PREPARE: Evacuation efforts and flood preparations should
soon be brought to completion before conditions become
unsafe.
- ACT: Leave immediately if evacuation orders are given for
your area to avoid being cut off from emergency services or
needlessly risk lives.

- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
- Areas of inundation of saltwater along immediate shorelines
and in low-lying spots farther inland near rivers and
creeks, with storm surge flooding accentuated by waves.
Damage to several buildings, mainly near the coast.
- Sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads
become weakened or washed out, especially in normally
vulnerable low spots.
- Moderate to major beach erosion with heavy surf breaching
dunes. Strong and numerous rip currents.
- Minor to moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and

- ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take
action will likely result in serious injury or loss of life.

- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic
- Extreme rainfall flooding could prompt widespread rescues.
As event unfolds, rescues could become impossible.
- Rivers and tributaries could overwhelmingly overflow their
banks in many places with deep moving water. Small streams,
creeks, canals, and ditches may become raging rivers with
strong currents. Flood control systems and barriers could
become stressed or overwhelmed.
- Flood waters will enter many structures within multiple
communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or
washed away. Flood waters could render escape routes
impassable. Streets and parking lots become rivers of
raging water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions
become impossible and life threatening. Widespread road and
bridge closures with most weakened or washed out.
- Drinking water and sewer services could be negatively
impacted.
- Hazardous containers and materials could possibly be
present in flood waters.

damage paths.
- PREPARE: Those living in manufactured homes or on boats
should prepare to relocate to safe shelter before hazardous
weather arrives.
- ACT: Listen for tornado watches and warnings. If a tornado
warning is issued, be ready to shelter quickly.

emergency plans.

tornadoes with a few spots of considerable damage, power
loss, and communications failures.

houses, mobile homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large
trees snapped or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small
boats tossed about.

WPC, who backed off somewhat late Sunday PM, has actually increased amounts this morning for everyone, including the rowdy residents of Rouz'ville:

Note: a fair amount of this falls prior to Deb's remnants later this week -

Yeah I have to figure out this way, the bulk of that falls tonight and tomorrow night.

In today's society people need to get the message. Hopefully they do. The NWS can't be clearer on this event. I hope it it doesn't come to what they're saying in the post.

They have had a couple of events like this (last decade or two) where rainfall amounts were "biblical" .  They usually had worse impacts inland where the ground is less sandy.  When I cancelled my myrtle trip (still may lose my airplane fare) the condo owner acted surprised and did not think myrtle has many issues.  So, not everyone is worried right now.

I feel like there's a lot of that type of sentiment from those living close to the big pond. "We're not going anywhere" is a refrain sung by a lot of quoir members on the coast.

I know about 10 people that just arrived on Saturday to spend the week at Myrtle till this Saturday. They are staying in a hotel or condo on the beach. Wonder if they will have to evacuate later this week?

Low of 69 with .01" from a tiny little storm that rolled through yesterday afternoon.  I wasn't home but my wife said it dumped for about one minute and then abruptly ended.  She would know about such things :lol:

@canderson it appears Debby may throw a wrench into your hottest August of all-time plans.  It actually had me checking the record books for lowest max temps later in the week.  I believe Wed - Fri were all 68, probably a bridge too far. 

Things could go in all types of directions with this storm but it appears we should be in for some bountiful rains at some point.  Hope the flooding isn't too bad down south.  The dreaded pink dot has appeared on the WPC map that @Itstrainingtime posted.  Busy week ahead.

Debby is not dancing by herself either, she has a partner following her.

Sunny and warm today but a bit less humid. Rain chances increase by tomorrow night with a cold front approach. A flood watch in effect for tomorrow night and then rain chances continue for most of the week with the remnants of Debby moving up the coast late week.
Chester County records for today: High 102 degrees at Kennett Square (1918) / Low 44 degrees at Phoenixville (1951) / Rain 2.43" at Phoenixville (1923)

Need to bump that zone west and north. We need the rain, and after living in AZ for a year and a half, I want to see a prolific rainer...lol

If I could send it north to you, I would. I want no part of it, honestly. When Lee came through in 2011 and again from a freak flood event several years ago, I saw too many neighbors down the road from me in town lose a whole lot of personal property from 6' of water in their basements. Yards were full of destroyed furniture and other belongings waiting to be removed. That hit too close to home and was another reminder that I just can't "root" for potentially destructive weather.

I'm NOT calling you out - I do understand the spirit of what you're saying. You want newsworthy weather...I get it.
