NorthHillsWx Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 41 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: Quite a solid look on IR It definitely spun up overnight when it regenerated convection. The dry air that mixed in when it stalled likely saved South Carolina from the catastrophic flooding it otherwise would’ve been capable of producing. Widespread flooding in NC this morning but nothing major yet at least that I’m aware of. I am becoming concerned for the foothill regions that will get upslope enhancement to possibly exceed 10”. This storm has been a prolific tornado producer, and unfortunately one caused a fatality in Wilson county this morning 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNC Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 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.

GaWx Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 On 8/7/2024 at 10:53 AM, GaWx said: Further to the above’s 8.5”, I’ve gotten an additional 1.8” since ~6PM yesterday for an updated total so far of ~10.3”, easily the largest amount from a single event since Matthew of early Oct of 2016. There’s still on and off light rain falling and it’s breezy here on the backside. As of yesterday morning’s update I had received 10.3” from Debby. I’ve since had an additional 0.6” to give me a Debby grand total (over 3 days) of 10.9”, easily the largest amount from a single event here since Matthew of Oct 7-8, 2016. Together with the 10” I got 7/19-8/3 from PM convection, I’ve received 20.9” during just the 20 day period of 7/19-8/7. Thus, any possible heavy rains from tropical or other during the next few weeks could be extra problematic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggyNoLia Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Here's a visual that many can understand from all the rain we have had since Sunday night here in the Charleston area. Please don't yell at me, my rain gauge sprung a leak and I need to replace it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a pinecone from my driveway today. If people would stop treating every storm like the next coming of Camille, and stop hyping imminent RI, people would take threats more seriously when appropriate. 2 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
