After spending yesterday out over the open waters of the southwestern Atlantic, Tropical Storm Debby has made a second landfall early today just to the northeast of Charleston, South Carolina and it will begin to accelerate to the north later tonight and pass to the west of the Mid-Atlantic’s I-95 corridor on Friday. Outer bands associated with the tropical storm have already reached our region and the main impact here will occur from tonight through Friday evening. There will be occasional heavy downpours, embedded strong thunderstorms, gusty winds, and even isolated tornadoes during the tropical storm’s main impact time period. As the remnants of the tropical system accelerate to the northeast, skies will clear here by early Saturday and the weekend should turn out to be quite nice. In fact, the period from Saturday through the middle of next week looks quite nice throughout the northeastern quadrant of the nation with comfortable temperatures and humidity levels.

It turns cooler for the second half of the week following the passage of a cold frontal system that will actually stall out later today just to the south of here. Tropical Storm Debby is now out over the open waters of the SW Atlantic just off the coastline of South Carolina and it could re-intensify later today back into category 1 hurricane status. Whether or not Debby returns to hurricane status, it will continue to produce tremendous rainfall amounts in the Carolinas during the next 24 hours or so and likely makes a second landfall by early Thursday morning.
After that, the tropical storm is going to be kicked out to the north and move into the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday…likely just to the west of I-95. This path will give us the chance here for some heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and even isolated tornadoes from later Thursday through Friday night with weather conditions likely to improve on Saturday. Looking ahead, the weather looks quite nice and comfortable for Sunday and Monday following the passage of the tropical system.

Tropical Storm Debby is about to move back out over the open waters of the Southwest Atlantic Ocean…just off the coast of South Carolina. This system will re-intensify some during the next 24 hours or so with a chance of getting back to category 1 hurricane status and then it’ll likely make a second landfall early Thursday in South Carolina. Whether or not Debby returns to hurricane status, there will be extreme rainfall amounts in portions of the Southeast US during the next couple of days centered on the state of South Carolina.
Farther north, much of the Mid-Atlantic region will experience very heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorms from later today into early tomorrow due to a combination of tropical moisture feeding northward from Tropical Storm Debby and an incoming strong cold frontal system. The remnants of Tropical Storm Debby will finally get kicked to north late in the week with heavy rainfall and potentially even tornadoes a threat in the entire Mid-Atlantic region on Friday/Friday night.

Despite the fact that the center of Tropical Storm Debby will likely not move to the Mid-Atlantic region until the end of the week, its influence around here will actually begin late today and tonight. The combination of an increasingly tropical air mass and an incoming cold frontal system will result in scattered late day and nighttime showers and thunderstorms. Some of the rain can be heavy at times and flash flooding may become a concern during the overnight hours; especially, across northeastern Maryland. It turns cooler for the second half of the week following the passage of the cold frontal system which will actually stall out in our general vicinity.
Tropical Storm Debby is now near the Georgia/South Carolina coastal border region and it will meander to a position just off the South Carolina coast by late today and tonight. Some re-intensification is possible on Wednesday while TS Debby is out over the open waters of the southwestern Atlantic and then a second landfall is likely on Thursday somewhere along the South Carolina coast. After that, the tropical storm is probably going to be kicked out to the north and move into the Mid-Atlantic region which likely results in additional heavy rainfall around here from later Thursday into early Saturday.
