Flooding is one of the main dangers to people living inland when a hurricane strikes. If you see water, don't drive into it. The appearance can be deceiving, with water levels looking lower than what they are. Remember, Turn Around, Don't Drown. #HurricanePreps #Flooding #scwx

Scattered very light snow showers will occasionally move through portions of the CSRA and Midlands into early afternoon, but will be light enough not to accumulate. Any accumulating snow is expected to move in later this afternoon. #scwx #gawx

Flooding potential remains high as Hurricane Debby crosses the region through late this week. The heavy rainfall will likely result in areas of severe and widespread flash and urban flooding, with significant river flooding expected.
