Tropical Storm Debby will likely weaken to a tropical depression by the time it moves over central North Carolina, but the primary threat locally will not be the wind, it will be the RAIN. A flood watch has been issued for several counties and it may be expanded later.
An initial Flood Watch has been issued generally for locations east of US-1 starting Tuesday 8am and going through 8 pm Friday. An extension further north and west may be needed as we progress through the week.

Storm total rainfall amounts will range from 8 to 12 inches across the Sandhills and southern Coastal Plain, with 6 to 9 inches in the Triangle to 4 to 6 inches in Triad and Virginia border counties.

The forecast track of Debby has it move off the Georgia/South Carolina coast Tuesday and remain nearly stationary for a day before moving north. It will then make another landfall over South Carolina Thursday, continue north over North Carolina Friday, and continue northeast over the Delmarva Peninsula Saturday.

The risk for flooding rains this week across central NC from #Debby is increasing. Take steps now to prepare for flooding before it happens! Visit weather.gov/floodsafety.
Prepare for floods before they happen. Flooding can occur any time of year. Are you prepared? Find out if you're in a floodplain. Visit floodsmart.gov to learn more. Determine the roads likely to flood so that you can plan alternate routes. Identify the fastest way to higher ground.

This has been a long time coming for our department. Today we were formally recognized as a Heavy Rescue, High Angle Rescue, Confined Space Rescue, and Water-Swiftwater Provider by the NC Association of Rescue and E.M.S., Inc. It is indeed an honor for us and our citizens.

Creating an emergency supply kit with your family is a great way to prepare for a disaster. Children often feel more secure knowing there is a plan in an emergency. Build your emergency supply kit here: nfpa.social/m4G450PAvfb
