Forecast data suggests up to 6 inches of rain through the end of the week for North Carolina.

Tropical storm Debby nearing hurricane strength; will bring heavy rain, flooding to NC this week

<p>Number of tropical storm watches warnings and hurricane watches and warnings all along the coast of Florida, especially the Gulf coast. But you're starting to see those tropical storm watches being issued for the east coast of Georgia. I do expect that we see more of those being issued up the east coast as we get closer to that impact from what is now tropical storm Debbie. This is going to make landfall on Florida's Big Bend Monday morning likely is a category one hurricane. And then as we head into this upcoming week, that's when things are really gonna stall out and that's where the forecast becomes a little tricky for us because that cone represents anywhere that the center of Debbie can theoretically be. Here's why there's a little bit of uncertainty with that. Ok. So as it's moving up the east coast, I'm going to broaden out the view. And what you'll see is the upper level winds that would otherwise help steer the storm. They're nowhere to be found, they're farther to the north. So this thing just kind of wobbles meanders and takes its time leaving the area. So that's why this is going to be something we track for days at a time. Let's start with Monday. We're drier inland but we see some rain bands coming in along the coast overall. Pretty low impact as far as our weather is concerned. By Tuesday, we see more rain on the coast and some later rain arriving inland inland, flood threat is fairly low on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, however, is when it starts to increase from southeast to northwest. That's when we see the bulk of our rain and the possibility for some gusty wind as well. Here's just an overview of what the impacts could be. Understanding that the center of the storm may wobble and may change so that this may change as well in the orange. That's where we expect the higher rain totals, the coastal surge, potentially some gustier wind, maybe even some severe thunderstorms as we head into the middle and later part of the week. And the yellow is where we see most forecast data hinting at 3 to 6 or 4 to 8 inches of green, maybe some gusty wind. But overall, we'll have to watch the flood threat mid to late week and the farther west you go, the lesser the impact becomes at least for right now. This is not the only storm we're going to be tracking. August, September, October tend to be your peak of hurricane season. A look at the next 2 to 3 weeks according to the climate prediction center showing the possibility, if not the likelihood of more development within the Atlantic's main development region.</p>
