What does storm Debbie threaten New York, which has already caused a lot of trouble in the southeastern United States?

Tropical Storm Debbie dumped record rainfall across the southeastern United States, including Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. What this means for New York, explains Fox5.

On August 11, parts of New York State could see an additional 7 to 13 cm of rainfall. This is the aftermath of Storm Debbie. He will sweep through the tri-state (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut).

Center forecasting NOAA weather (WPC) assigned New YorkFlood threat level 2.

What should the Big Apple really expect in the next few days?

Best screenplay

Today Debbie is walking along the South Carolina coast. It will eventually turn north, begin to accelerate, and then weaken. The storm will impact the Tri-State area, but the question remains how much precipitation will fall.

“At this point, the best-case scenario is for the storm to track to our west, as most computer models suggest. This will move the core of the heaviest rain across eastern Pennsylvania into upstate New York and northern New England,” said forecaster Nick Gregory.

For the region, this is fraught with showers and thunderstorms. Due to the tropical nature of the humidity, localized heavy rainfall of 2 to 8 cm is likely.

Higher amounts, 10 to 15+ cm, are possible over eastern Pennsylvania and to the north.

Worst scenario

The worst-case scenario would be for the track to move further east and bring the storm's core directly toward the Tri-State, bringing with it 10-15 cm of rain.

This development of the scenario is fraught with the threat of flash flooding.

Debbie's predicted path

On August 9, Debbie will quickly weaken from a tropical storm to a post-tropical storm. It will begin to move through the interior parts of the northeast.

“Heavy tropical rainfall associated with Debbie will begin in the area in a couple of days,” Woods warned in a post on X.

The extreme amount of tropical moisture still produced by the storm, combined with a drop in the jet stream to the west, is expected to produce heavy rainfall across the Inland Northeast.
