Debby tracker: Tropical Storm could bring 'catastrophic' rainfall to Southeast

Potentially historic to catastrophic rainfall is expected across multiple states in the Southeast over the coming days following this week's landfall from Tropical Storm Debby.

According to an advisory posted Tuesday by the National Hurricane Center, the heavy rainfall is expected through southeast Georgia and eastern South Carolina through Friday.

The center of Debby's storm is expected to move offshore from the Georgia coast later Tuesday, bringing a significant risk of flash flooding to portions of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina over the coming days.

Forecasters expect more flooding from northern North Carolina through portions of Mid-Atlantic states and southern New England through Sunday.

A dangerous storm surge and the tropical storm conditions will spread northward from Florida to North Carolina by the middle of the week, and storm surge and tropical storm warnings have been issued for areas in that region.

Where did Hurricane Debby make landfall?

Debby made landfall Monday as a Category 1 hurricane along coastal Florida, bringing heavy winds, rains and flooding to the region, but has since weakened to a tropical storm.

In the portions of Florida where Debby has already passed through, some hazards remain, including flooded areas and downed power lines.

The National Hurricane Center urges people using generators to make sure they are ventilated properly to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, use caution when using chainsaws and power tools and to drink plenty of water to avoid heat exhaustion.
