Current status: Bands of soaking rain in association with Debby's moisture and a pair of fronts extend from the coastal Carolinas to New England. M?ultiple flash flood warnings remain in effect, as shown by the dark green polygons in the map below.

Water rescues due to flooding have been reported this morning in coastal South Carolina and near Greenwood, Virginia. See the link below for more details on Debby's impacts,

D?ebby's outer rainbands are still spawning a few tornadoes, as well. A tornado watch is in effect until 2 p.m. EDT from northern Virginia northward to portions of eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and southeast New York. That includes the Washington, D.C. to Baltimore to Philadelphia corridor.

Rainfall flood threat: The main threat for more widespread heavy rainfall through Friday night in the East is from the Appalachians to upstate New York and northern New England, or in the areas shaded in red on the map below. Given wet ground from recent heavy rain in upstate New York and northern New England, any wind gusts even as modest as 30 mph from Debby's remnant could topple some trees in spots.

A?bout a month ago, the remnant from what was once Hurricane Beryl triggered major flash flooding from upstate New York to Vermont, northern New Hampshire and Maine, washing out roads and flooding some towns.

A?s already mentioned, trailing bands of rain in the eastern Carolinas will continue to produce a flood threat in those already water-logged areas through the rest of today.

T?he map below shows how much additional rain can be expected into Saturday across the East.

If you live in a low-lying flood-prone area, stay alert and follow the latest updates and warnings. Never attempt to drive through a flooded stretch of road or around barriers that signal a road closure. Over half of deaths in floods happen in vehicles, according to NOAA statistics.
