    Tropical Storm Debby is slamming the Southeast with rain after making landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday.

    Here's what to expect as Debby moves north:

    The highest rain total so far from Tropical Storm Debby is south of Tampa, Florida, where about 19 inches of rain fell.

    On Tuesday afternoon, Debby is located about 10 miles southeast of Savannah and is crawling north at a very slow speed.

    The heavy rain will stretch from Charleston to Wilmington, North Carolina, on Tuesday. Storm surge could reach 4 feet from Savannah to Cape Fear, North Carolina, and tornadoes are possible.

    Flash flood warnings are in effect for Savannah, Charleston and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Rainfall rates could reach 1 to 2 inches per hour during the heaviest downpours, which will bring more flooding.

    Debby will move back over the ocean off the South Carolina coast over the next 24 hours -- and could strengthen while over the warm water.

    The tropical storm is expected to make a second landfall Wednesday night or Thursday morning between Charleston and Myrtle Beach.

    The worst of the rain is expected along the South Carolina-North Carolina border through Thursday evening. A rare "high risk" for flash flooding was issued from Charleston to Raleigh, North Carolina, where rain totals could climb to 25 inches through Thursday.

    On Friday, Debby will leave the Carolinas and move up the East Coast. Friday night through Saturday night, Debby's remnants will bring heavy rain to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

    Four to 8 inches of rain is forecast and flash flooding is possible.
