Tropical Storm Debby is expected to bring excessive rainfall and a high-end flash flooding threat to both North Carolina and South Carolina this week. Here's the latest on the storm from the Carolina Weather Group. #northcarolina #southcarolina #weather #ncwx #scwx #podcast

Tropical Storm Debby is expected to strengthen into a hurricane before a Florida landfall on Monday. The storm is then expected to cross Florida and stall near the Carolina coast. This could create days of prolonged, excessive rainfall in both North Carolina and South Carolina. Along the South Carolina coast, places such as Hilton Head, Beaufort, Charleston and Myrtle Beach could see record-breaking rainfall. The National Hurricane Center says they're fearful of the impacts that could be seen if rain totals reach between 20 and 30 inches in some places. The slow-moving storm could also bring a flooding threat inland. Along and east of the Interstate 77 corridor, places like Columbia, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Florence, and Fayetteville could see flooding from Debby too. #northcarolina #southcarolina #weather #ncwx #scwx #podcast

A special edition of the Carolina Weather Group: Countdown to launch! The GOES-U satellite, the final addition to GOES-R series, will help to prepare for two kinds of weather — Earth and space weather. Once operational, this new satellite will be renamed GOES-19 and take on the role of GOES East. As GOES East, the satellite will serve a critical role in providing continuous weather coverage over the Carolinas, the United States East Coast and monitoring tropical systems in the Atlantic oceans. This continuous monitoring aids scientists and forecasters in issuing timely warnings and forecasts to help protect the one billion people who live and work in the Americas. Additionally, GOES-U carries a new compact coronagraph that will image the outer layer of the Sun’s atmosphere to detect and characterize coronal mass ejections. This week, we talked with Dr. Dan Lindsey, GOES-R Program Scientist, and Dr. Jim Spann, Senior Scientist for Space Weather for NOAA’s NESDIS Office of Space Weather Observations. Th

All the world-renowned forecasters are saying the same thing: expect an active hurricane season this year. One of those meteorologists is Dr. Phil Klotzbach. He is a senior research scientist for the Department of Atmospheric Science in the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering at Colorado State University. He has worked in the department for the past 23 years and was co-author on the Atlantic basin hurricane forecasts with Dr. William Gray through 2005, becoming the first author in 2006. Dr. Klotzbach joins the podcasts this week on the Carolina Weather Group to discuss expectations for the 2024 hurricane season. He explains the weather and climate impacts that are likely to make it an above-average tropical season. #hurricane #tropics #weather

#weather #northcarolina #southcarolina #hurricane #severeweather See why IBHS is expressing serious concerns about North Carolina's building codes when it comes to hurricane readiness -- and why South Carolina continues to hold strong. With the traditional start of hurricane season just weeks away, the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) has released its Rating the States which report evaluates the 18 states along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, all vulnerable to catastrophic hurricanes, based on building code adoption, enforcement, and contractor licensing. In the report, published every three years, each state is rated on a 0–100 scale using data from responses to groups of questions related to different aspects of their building code programs. https://ibhs.org/public-policy/rating-the-states/
