Flash Flood Potential for Friday, August 09

 Currently, Tropical Storm Debby is located in the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of
South Carolina, after an initial landfall on Monday as a hurricane in the
Big Bend region along the Gulf Coast of Florida. After a slow trek across
northern Florida and into Georgia the storm moved back into open water on
Tuesday afternoon just off the coast of the Georgia/South Carolina border.
Tropical Storm Debby is expected to make a second U.S. landfall late
tonight or early Thursday morning in South Carolina as it makes a slow move
to the north, before picking up forward speed and accelerating to the
north/northeast on Friday as currently forecast.
There are no
current watches or warnings in place at this time for Lewis County from the
National Weather Service in Buffalo but stay tuned as forecasts are updated
and the system approaches. We’ll have an update tomorrow with the latest
information.
