South Carolina State

Debby continues to slam most of South Carolina with extreme rainfall. Gusty winds have been affecting coastal areas, and we've seen several tornadoes hit near our coast. Storm surge has been surprisingly absent so far, but our coastline remains at risk. We'll continue to deal with these impacts for another 48 hours or so as Debby wanders over our coast or just offshore.

While Hurricane Debby moves across Northern Florida today, we are sitting in the steam bath today though it isn't quite as bad as we saw last week. Today over Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England it is going to be a hot humid day. Thunderstorm activity however is probably going to minimal unless you are north of Route 84. This is where the Storm Prediction Center has elevated risk for severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and tonight. The area covers much of Northern Ohio, Northern Pennsylvania, much of Upstate NY and interior New England as far north as Maine. As for temperatures here, sunshine should take highs into the upper 80s and lower 90s this afternoon. We will throw in the chance for an isolated shower or thunderstorm but activity should be far less than the last several days.
