Tropical Storm Debby Update – Wednesday 8/7/24 at 740 AM EDT/1140 UTC
Hello to all…
Tropical Storm Debby is slowly intensifying offshore of the Georgia and South Carolina coast but lacks a good inner core to allow for reintensification and is currently expected to remain below hurricane strength when it makes a second landfall on the South Carolina coast late tonight or Thursday. Where Debby will remain below hurricane strength, no further VoIP Hurricane Net activations are anticipated for Debby. After the second landfall as a tropical storm, Debby will then get merged and swept into a frontal system and track north through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US with significant flooding and severe weather possible. Debby has caused significant flooding from heavy rainfall and storm surge and scattered tornadoes along its path after making landfall as a hurricane in the Big Bend area of Florida and is being handled at the local and regional level by ARES and SKYWARN groups.
Advisories on Debby can be seen off the main menu of the voipwx.net web site, via our Facebook and Twitter social media feeds and via the National Hurricane Center web site at the following link:
Elsewhere in the Atlantic tropics, a tropical wave in the southwestern Caribbean Sea only has a low chance, 10% of development over the next 7 days as it track towards the Central America and Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico coastline. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management team will continue to monitor all developments in the tropics. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
