Tropical Storm Watch for the Lowcountry.
Storm Surge Watch for the Lowcountry.
Flood Watch for the Lowcountry starting Monday.
Tropical moisture will start to stream into the area late this weekend into early next week. Sunday will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers and storms as a front remains stalled out nearby. Highs will be in the upper 80s. We are watching Tropical Storm Debby very closely as there is still lots of uncertainty in where the system goes after tracking across the Sunshine state...this is due to week steering currents. Right now, it looks to move out into the Atlantic and meander offshore through at least the middle of the week. With it nearby, expect rain and flooding to be the primary threats. Expect anywhere from 5 to 10 inches with locally higher amounts possible through the end of the week....possibly up to a12 inches or more! Now is the time to prepare your property and your family. Tropical storm force winds will be possible, along with rough surf and coastal impacts, including beach erosion. The EXACT impacts will depend on the track of the storm. We are keeping a very close eye on Debby and will keep you updated on the track and impacts.
Tropical Storm Debby is forecast to intensify into a hurricane before making landfall along the Big Bend region of Florida Monday. Then it looks to trek across the Southeast before likely moving back out into the Atlantic as a tropical storm. It could meander off the Southeast coast through the middle of the week before making landfall somewhere along the Southeast coast. Regardless, impacts will be felt in the Lowcountry through most of next week.
Sunday, mostly cloudy with scattered showers and storms, highs 84-88.
Sunday night, mostly cloudy, a thundershower near daybreak, lows 75-77.
