Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Columbia SC
311 PM EDT Tue Aug 6 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Debby will continue slowly crossing the region through Thursday
night then begin moving away from the area. Confidence remains
high for potential heavy rainfall and flooding over the next
several days. Drier air should finally move into the region by
the weekend leading to lowering rain chances.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key Message(s):
- Heaviest rain bands should shift eastward overnight
  as Tropical Storm Debby moves offshore.
- Flash flood risks will continue, especially east of I-77 and
  south of I-20.

Tropical Storm Debby moves offshore this afternoon through tonight.
This movement should result in the heaviest precipitation shifting
closer to the coast overnight. Areas west of I-77 and north of
I-20 should benefit from the decreased chance of precipitation
and lesser rainfall accumulations as the night progresses, while
areas east of I-77 and south of I-20 should see a continuation
of showers and isolated thunderstorms albeit with somewhat less
intense rainfall rates. Any additional rainfall will exacerbate
ongoing flash flooding, especially for the lower CSRA and
eastern Midlands.

Rainfall accumulations through tonight should range from less than
one quarter of inch in the Upper CSRA to three to six inches in the
eastern Midlands with the sharpest gradient just north of the I-20
corridor.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Key Message(s):

- An additional round of heavy rain is expected Wednesday Night
  into Thursday which may cause additional flooding
- Potential for life threatening flash flooding continues
  Wednesday through Thursday
- A Flood Watch is in effect through Thursday evening

Updates: The most significant impact is still expected to be
flooding potential. Although there may be a brief period on
Wednesday without heavy rainfall, we expect to see deep moisture
advection and heavy rain return to the region Wednesday night
and Thursday as Debby shifts W. This has led to an increased
risk of flooding further west into the northern Midlands and
Catawba regions. If the forecast track continues to show this
westward shift the Flood Watch may need to be extended in area
and/or time.

Forecast and Impacts: As Debby first shifts eastward early in
the short term, western portions of the area may see a bit of
lull early Wednesday. Some western portions north of I-20 may
not get much rainfall with only the eastern areas near I-95
still seeing moderate or heavy rain.

As Debby shift north and west, widespread heavy rainfall across
much of the area becomes more likely on Wednesday night and
Thursday with life threatening flash flooding possible in
portions of the Midlands. The combination of deep tropical
moisture of PWAT's over 2.5" and an extremely slow moving system
will yield rainfall totals of generally 4 to 8 inches over
central SC. It appears that the heaviest precip will likely
fall Wednesday night and into Thursday afternoon. WPC has
continued their high risk for the Catawba and Pee Dee regions.
It be should be noted the rarity of such a situation with
portions of our in area in Moderate and High Risks for three
consecutive days. While life threatening flash flooding across
the I-20, and especially the I-95 corridor is the primary
threat, will we have low end tornado threat throughout much of
Thursday across the eastern and half of the forecast area.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Key Message(s):

- Drier air moves into the region in the long term but river
  flooding will remain an issue in the eastern Midlands.

Drier air with PWAT's below average will wrap in behind Debby
in the first portion of the long term. The exact timing is
still somewhat unclear as to when exactly Debby will accelerate
north but there is consensus that the weekend should be limited
to just a slight chance of rain. The remainder of the long term
is fairly calm and near average weather expected as we move
into next week.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Restrictions expected to dominate the period

IFR conditions will persist at all TAF sites through 07/04Z due to
Debby associated rain bands. Visibilities should improve after
07/04Z at all TAF sites besides OGB as Tropical Storm Debby moves
offshore and the heaviest rain bands move closer to the South
Carolina coast. Ceilings should raise a bit, however they will
persist due to the abundant tropical moisture across the region.

EXTENDED AVIATION OUTLOOK...Low ceilings, reduced visibility and
rain, heavy at times, are expected to continue through at least
Thursday. Gusty winds may be possible through Wednesday night
as Debby moves through the region.

&&

.CAE WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
SC...Flood Watch through Thursday evening for SCZ016-022-027>031-
     035-037-038-041-135>137.
