Debby’s latest - Flooding remain major calling card

Meandering Debby is swamping the Southeast coast, producing significant flooding. The flood threat continues for the next several days.

As our 48 hour look at Debby’s movement shows, its slow movement is allowing the weakening system to produce copious amounts of downpours across northern Florida, southern and southeastern Georgia and the coastal Carolinas.

Even as the system weakens, its proximity to the extremely warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean’s Gulf Stream —in fact Debby will slide off the Southeast coast today or tonight ؅— will keep it loaded with the water it needs to produce downpours throughout the Southeast Coast.

It is already producing flooding in places like Savannah, Ga., and Charleston, S.C. Our Weather reporter is in the Charleston area and has shared the video above of the flooding that is already occurring.

This could worsen over the next several days as more than a foot of additional downpours occurs. Weather & Radar meteorologists will be providing updates for the next several days in our LIVE Blog as the flood threat grows.
