Debby live updates: State of Emergency issued, days of rain and flooding in NC forecast

Hello, everyone. I'm meteorologist Mike Mays in the WRL severe weather center with our tropical update for this Monday night. Let's take a look at what's going on with tropical storm Debbie. It's moving through southeast Georgia top winds at about 45 MPH. It's slowly moving and it has weakened since earlier today and will continue to weaken as long as it's over land, but it is expected to move back over water, uh sometime during the day tomorrow and into tomorrow night, moving to the northeast at seven top winds are at 45. This is the latest forecast track and intensities from the National Hurricane Center making landfall, uh probably around eight o'clock or so in the evening on Wednesday with top winds at 50. And then it looks like, uh by the time we get to 8 p.m. on Thursday, it's over the Florence area in South Carolina 8 p.m. on Friday, 35 mile per hour winds just north of Raleigh and then Saturday tropical depression over uh Long Island. It looks like at that point. So it looks like our worst conditions will come into Thursday and also Friday where we have 100% chance of rain. These are the current advisories. Blue is tropical storm warning. Yellow is tropical storm watch for our coast coastal areas of Brunswick County, New Hanover County, Pender County as well. And we also have a storm surge watch where we could see our southern beaches. There is an inundation inundation potential of 2 to 4 ft. We also have a flood watch starting Tuesday morning lasting through Friday. Rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches. There could be local higher totals as well. Take a look at the map and see your neighborhood for Raleigh 5 to 7 inches. Fayetteville, 7 to 10. Goldsboro 7 to 10. Likewise for Clinton up to the north in Roxboro, about 4 to 6 inches of rain. A maximum wind gusts from Debbie about 34 mile per hour. Gust in Raleigh 41 in Fayetteville, 54 in Wilmington. Those strong enough winds to cause some trees to come down, hit power lines and cause power outages. So just be aware of that. So that's the latest information on Debbie. We'll have updates tomorrow morning and throughout the day on Tuesday, have a great night.
