The latest bulletin from the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) describes the center of storm Debby as located about 220 km northeast of Binghamton, New York and 145 km southwest of Burlington, Vermont. Debby is continuing to move northeast at 61 km/h, sustaining maximum winds of 55 km/h.
Affected areas include many states along the US East Coast, from South Carolina to Vermont and New Hampshire. Multiple warnings have been issued, including warnings for floods, cyclones, strong winds and coastal flooding.
Expected rainfall ranges from 25-75 mm, with some places expected to be higher. This poses a significant risk of flash and urban flooding, especially in Pennsylvania and New York. Additionally, a tornado or two is possible in New Jersey, New York and western New England this evening.
Strong wind gusts of 48-80 km/h are forecast to affect many areas, possibly causing tree falls and local power outages. Coastal areas also face the risk of large waves and dangerous currents.
With this weather situation, tourists planning to visit areas in the northeastern United States should pay close attention to weather reports and follow instructions from local authorities.
Avoid unnecessary travel, especially in areas with flood or tornado warnings. If you are in a coastal area, do not swim or participate in water activities due to the risk of large waves and strong currents.
If you plan to travel by plane, check flight status with the airline as delays or cancellations may occur.
Because Debby has turned into a post-tropical storm, it is not expected to get stronger, but visitors should not be subjective with unpredictable weather phenomena.
