NATIONAL SUMMARY

Intense rainfall and strong winds will continue along the

Southeast coast today as Debby moves slowly toward South

Carolina. Widespread wind gusts over 40-60 mph and a storm

surge of 3-6 feet are expected along much of the Carolina

life-threatening flooding. Heavy rain will spread well

inland over the Carolinas. In the mid-Atlantic, localized

flooding downpours from a non-tropical storm will occur.

Elsewhere, it will be hot across the southern Plains and the

interior West. In the Rockies, there may be gusty afternoon

thunderstorms, especially in Arizona and New Mexico. A storm
