Hurricane Debby Could Bring Rain to NYC This Week
Hurricane Debby made landfall in northern Florida as a Category 1 storm on Monday morning. While it has since been downgraded to a tropical storm, it could still impact New York City and the Tri-State area later in the week.
Debby arrived near Steinhatchee, Florida, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph. The storm is expected to move eastward over northern Florida and then stall over the coastal regions of Georgia and South Carolina.
The Eyewitness News AccuWeather team says that from mid- to late week, tropical moisture from Debby may interact with a non-tropical storm in the Northeast. This could result in excessive rainfall and flooding well north and west of the storm's direct path.
The big question now is how far north Debby travels. One model suggests the bulk of the moisture will stay to our south, while another model shows Debby bringing flooding rain to New York City on Friday and Saturday.
