    New Hampshire is likely to feel the impacts of Tropical Storm Debby on Friday , but how much remains "difficult to say" according to forecasters.

    Tropical Storm Debby is making its way over the Atlantic Wednesday, with concerns of flooding and rainfall in North and South Carolina , according to the National Weather Service's latest forecast .

    After making landfall in Florida on Monday , Debby has killed at least five people so far and continues its track north.

    The storm is expected to continue through the East Coast over the weekend. Vermont and New Hampshire will feel the effects of Debby this weekend, the NOAA's latest forecast projects.

    Here's what to know about Debby's projected impact in New Hampshire.

    Although the NOAA had earlier projected several inches of rainfall in Southern New England, the forecasted levels were slightly lower Wednesday as the storm shifted west.

    About two to four inches of rain is expected through Upstate New York and Vermont through Saturday morning, the NOAA said.

    A forecaster from the National Weather Service's Gray, Maine, office told the USA Today Network that the exact amount of rain coming to New Hampshire is hard to predict.

    "That tropical moisture from Debby is going to lift into the whole Northeast Region. So despite the ultimate track of the remnants of Debby, the area will be opened up to some tropical like rain. It's difficult to say exactly how much," the forecaster said.

    Additionally, the forecaster said there is potential for flash flooding depending on the amount of rainfall in New Hampshire.

    "The axis of heaviest rainfall will probably be west of New Hampshire, but nonetheless, if you get heavy, torrential rainfall, that will make the area vulnerable for flash flooding," the forecaster said.

    Where is Tropical Storm Debby now?

    Debby is expected to cause flooding in portions of North and South Carolina Wednesday through Friday, the NOAA projects .

    "Tropical Storm Debby is forecast to restrengthen a bit and re-curve toward the Southeast today before making landfall along the central South Carolina coast tonight," the NOAA said.
