Tropical Storm Debby is back in open water, as the storm crossed out of Georgia overnight, and into the Atlantic Ocean.
That move back into open water will give the storm a chance to strengthen again – albeit projected to just be slightly stronger – before it makes landfall once again in South Carolina overnight.
The path projection from the National Weather Service shows a more inland shift before turning north on Thursday. That puts Fayetteville and Southeastern North Carolina in the strongest quadrant of the storm for rain.
Current projections show another 6-12 inches of rain forecasted for our area.
In anticipation of the storm’s impact on the area, the City of Fayetteville and Cumberland County have both declared State of Emergency situations. That gives officials the ability to call for evacuations, curfews, or other emergency preparations as needed.
