See tropical storm’s path as states brace for more rain, flooding

Heavy rainfall and flooding conditions are expected to continue in multiple states along the East Coast through Thursday as Tropical Storm Debby continues to move through the region.

According to an advisory posted Wednesday by the National Hurricane Center, heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Debby across portions of eastern South Carolina and southeastern North Carolina is expected to persist through Thursday, which could broaden the areas of “considerable flooding.”

Flooding could occur in the Piedmont of the Carolinas, the area between the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, as well as portions of Mid-Atlantic states and Vermont through Saturday morning, the National Hurricane Center says.

Conditions around Tropical Storm Debby will continue to spread along the southern Atlantic coast from South Carolina to North Carolina through Thursday. Tropical storm warnings and watches are in effect for some of those areas.
