Tropical Storm Debby Beginning Strengthening Process
Good late morning everyone. Tropical Storm Debby continues to have its eyes on the Northeast eventually as a front draped down prevents it from leaving, with the help of high pressure off to the east.
This will steer Debby up the Appalachians and directly into interior parts of the Northeast and New England; bringing with it, torrential rains, flooding conditions, and the prospect of some severe weather. Severe weather risks, especially on the tail end through central/eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, will be large hail, damaging winds, and brief tornadoes.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Debby remains offshore between Charleston & Myrtle Beach and moving at a snails-pace of 5mph to the northeast. Winds have crept back up to 60mph and that giant “donut hole” is closing up, which is a sure sign of some deepening.
In fact, there’s a slight chance Debby regains minimal hurricane status before making landfall. It’s going to be a close call on that one, but it’s really just semantics at this point anyway since the stage is already set for a minor to moderate storm surge, minor wind damage, and flooding rain.
Here is your local NYC Metro forecast –
