According to the National Weather Service, Debby’s path of the storm appears to have shifted slightly towards the west.
Debby will continue to slowly move over the Carolinas, bringing heavy to torrential rain to North Carolina, South Carolina, and the East Coast states through the end of the week. A major flooding threat exists in North Carolina and Virginia Thursday. Dangerous heat will linger over the Southern Plains and Gulf Coast into Friday, with highs in the upper 90s to 100 degrees.
Forecasters are indicating that the eye of the storm could miss New York’s Westchester and Rockland. However, the New York metro area is still expected to receive 1 to 2 inches of rainfall over Friday and Saturday, with higher values in localized areas.
