Tropical Tracker: Debby to bring more rain to NYC, Tri-State

[ad_1]

NEW YORK (WABC) — Tropical Storm Debby is expected to make a second landfall early Thursday morning in South Carolina before moving up the east coast with flooding rainfall.

The National Hurricane Center warned that isolated areas could see up to 25 inches (64 centimeters) of rain from Debby.

The Eyewitness News AccuWeather team says what remains of Debby will start to pick up some speed and head northeast with some flooding downpours on Thursday night and Friday.

The good news for the New York City metro area is the track is further west than expected.

The bulk of the heavy rain should stay west of I-95 corridor that was hit very hard with flooding fueled in part by Debby on Tuesday.

The storm is also going to pick up enough speed that the remnants and heavy rain should clear our area late Friday night, and most of the weekend should be dry.
