The newest path takes Debby straight through North Carolina, the National Hurricane Center said. The Triangle will see periods of heavy rain and flooding Tuesday through Friday.

â ï¸Debby live updatesâ ï¸ Path takes Debby straight through NC, extremely rare flood risk issued for Thursday

Meteorologist Chris Michaels from the Wral Severe weather Center. Here's the latest path issued by the National Hurricane Center as of 11 a.m. And you see again that painstakingly slow process for Debbie to go offshore and then make landfall again on the coast of South Carolina. That would happen Thursday morning as a tropical storm. It also takes it through North Carolina as a tropical storm Thursday night into Friday morning. And that is when we expect some of the worst impacts here. Still tropical storm warnings and tropical storm watches along the coast of North and South Carolina. That's really about it as far as watches that are in effect. We do have a flood watch in effect for our area from now through Friday night. As for today, coastal flooding is one of the bigger concerns. Uh Then we see those inland rain bands starting to push in Wednesday through Friday are all Wral weather alert days as we have high to extreme risks of flooding especially Thursday. That's something we haven't seen since Dorian in 2019, gusts up to 40 MPH are a possibility by then by Thursday and Friday. So we could see some outages or down trees that leaves this weekend, breezy and drier. At which point we'll be doing some clean up and keeping an eye on some river flooding. Here's future cast showing Debbie drenching the east coast and there you see for us flooding, of course, the main threat as we see at least 5 to 10 inches of rain. We'll show that map here in just a little bit down trees and power outage is a possibility and we'll also have to watch for some, uh, brief tornadoes to be a possibility late Thursday by Friday night into Saturday, the center of the storm moving off toward the north and east. Most of us seeing rain totals 5 to 10 inches though there will be some locally, higher totals, especially across the sand hills where you see more rain for a longer period of time. Now, as far as Thursday in two Thursday night, there's a level one risk of severe weather, especially when you bring into account the potential for brief tornadoes right now that looks to be near to the east of the Triangle. Debbie is not the only storm, although it is the only storm of interest for our purposes. Right now, there is another system with a 30% chance of becoming tropical within the Caribbean and the Bay of Campeche within the next seven days.
