EFFECT UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING, AND DEBBIE’S STILL LINGERING OVER THE SOUTHEAST RIGHT NOW. OUR FIRST WARNING METEOROLOGIST CAM TRAN TRACKING THE STUBBORN SYSTEM EXPECTED TO BRING EVEN MORE RAIN. CAM. THAT’S RIGHT. STUBBORN AND EXTREMELY SLOW MOVING. HERE’S THE LATEST ON DEBBY THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION RIGHT OVER SAVANNAH, AND IT IS MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST AT A JUST FIVE MILES PER HOUR. SOME OF US COULD EVEN WALK FASTER THAN THE STORM IS ACTUALLY MOVING. WINDS RIGHT NOW 40MPH. THIS IS GOING TO MEANDER EAST OFFSHORE LATE TONIGHT, MOVING INTO THE WATERS OF THE ATLANTIC WHERE IT’S GOING TO INTENSIFY A BIT TO A STRONGER TROPICAL STORM. AS IT SITS OVER THE WARM WATERS OF THE ATLANTIC AND THEN MEANDER BACK ON SHORE, MAKING LANDFALL AGAIN OVER SOUTH CAROLINA. AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY MORNING AS A STRONGER TROPICAL STORM, WE JUST SHOWED YOU THE FLOOD FOOTAGE. THERE AND CHARLESTON LOOK AT THAT. THEY’VE PICKED UP ALMOST A FOOT OF RAIN. 11IN. BUFORD A LITTLE OVER 11IN, AND SUMMERVILLE THERE ALSO IN SOUTH CAROLINA, ALMOST TEN INCHES OF RAIN. THEY’RE NOT DONE YET. AGAIN, THIS SYSTEM IS MOVING EXTREMELY SLOW AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE COULD SEE AN ADDITIONAL HALF A FOOT OF RAIN IN IN THE COASTAL AREAS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AS WELL AS IN GEORGIA. YOU CAN SEE THE DARKER YELLOWS INDICATING ABOUT 2 TO 3IN. BUT AGAIN, WE COULD GET SOME LOCALIZED AMOUNTS AS HIGH AS AN ADDITIONAL HALF A FOOT OF RAIN, WHICH OF COURSE COULD EXACERBATE SOME OF THE FLOODING ISSUES ALREADY THERE. I’LL TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT OUR WEATHER FORECAST HERE AT HOME, INCLUDING A COUPLE THUNDERSTORMS
