Some pictures from friends in other areas of the peninsula and while it’s flooded it doesn’t look too much worse than usual.

This was my prediction at work. A strengthening Cat 1 Debby vs a weakening “Cat 3” Idalia which should have been a Cat 1.

The only catch may be that the station at Horshoe Beach may have not yet been replaced, or at least the anemometer, and that may be a model-derived estimate of wind. Is so......come on NOAA, get your shite together.

At 40 mph it’s barely a TS now, but looks like it’s about to get over water again. I’m no expert though like some on here, so I won’t speculate about Debby’s future.


Its sitting close to the coast where the water is at least 5° cooler than the gulf stream and will get colder the longer debby sits

Not the near ideal conditions debby had in eastern gulf

Pretty quiet over here in Mt. Pleasant. Had some crazy lightning and thunder last night but hardly any flooding. Not even raining right now.

Just got out of the water near Myrtle Beach. Still a blistering 83. Nothing cold about that.

Looks like there's a heavy band that is supposed to start coming in this afternoon hitting IOP up toward Georgetown. But doesn't look like we're in the crosshairs for that one

Mom had 10" of rain on the south side of Savannah yesterday and nothing so far today per her rain gauge. No real wind issues in her part of the city.

Said she might get more later as they are between rain bands, but they don't seem to be making it east of I95. She's 8 miles east of the interstate

I don't want to get anyone too wound up, but it looks like we're gonna see a nice little mid-Summer cold front roll through this weekend. For some of us it should drop high temps into the low to mid 80s and provide noticeably less humidity. It also doesn't look to be too wet of a pattern with it. Should last a few days.

I’ve been checking cameras all over Charleston. Earlier this morning a street (Rutledge near MUSC) was flooded with an abandoned Mini Cooper in it. That street is now accessible with cars and people walking on the sidewalk. It doesn’t look too bad everywhere I’ve checked. It appears the roads are accessible other than the ones the authorities have purposely blocked prior to the storm.

That graphic is from the GFS which has been complete shite. I hope it happens but I don't trust it.

Euro, Icon nor CMC show the cooler temps getting to the deep south.

So if your your forecast app uses the GFS you will see it. If not your app won't show it.
