Drenching thunderstorms in store for areas still waterlogged from Debby
Parts of the Carolinas could still experience river flooding this week as thunderstorms continue soaking areas hit hard by Debby.

00:00Where we had that heavy rain just last week from Debbie were tracking
00:05thunderstorms in and around those areas now. Areas like Wilmington, North
00:09Carolina seeing some strong storms and we've even had some flash flooding
00:12issues across parts of North Carolina especially across extreme southeastern
00:18North Carolina. Though down along the coast we're still concerned about spotty
00:22thunderstorms here over the next few days and even further south it's still
00:26hot. We were just talking about areas like Dallas, Houston. It's actually where
00:32the real field temperatures where we don't have the storms are going to be
00:35soaring past 100 degrees upwards to 115 where you see that darkest red that does
00:42that includes Houston and New Orleans and also Central Florida, Orlando, the
00:47Peninsula. It's going to be hot even across the Panhandle and anywhere there
00:51along that I-10 corridor you can say it's going to be a little gross outside
00:55you're going to be sweating it out. Though further north unfortunately we're
00:58not quite done with the thunderstorm threat across these areas that were just
01:02hounded there by Debbie with some of these slow-moving thunderstorms and some
01:07of them even starting to gel together or maybe live a little too long and
01:12unfortunately the longer they are and if they pop up over an already pretty
01:17roughed up area when it comes to the flooding and the grounds already so
01:21saturated we're tracking some slowdowns here when it comes to Debbie recovery
01:26efforts potentially and also on top of the rain we're also tracking some gusty
01:30winds as well. We're watching some rivers a lot of rivers here in that major flood
01:37stage. This is for Edisto River and unfortunately we are continuing to
01:42attract that major flood stage until the end of the week where we do start to
01:48come down but it's not a fast drop it's a steady drop so we're still concerned
01:52about flooding here over the next few days. You can see why where a lot of the
01:56thunderstorms do choose to fire off that is right around that zone where we have
02:00that solid out frontal boundary though as we head into the middle half of the
02:04week you'll start to see some of those storms still erupting there during the
02:08peak afternoon though something we have to keep a close eye out on as we head
02:11into the later half of the week is Ernesto.
