DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Debby was
located near latitude 32.5 North, longitude 79.1 West. Debby is
moving toward the north-northeast near 3 mph (6 km/h). A turn toward
the north is expected tonight, bringing the center across the South
Carolina coast on Thursday morning. After landfall, a faster motion
toward the north and north-northeast across the Carolinas and the
U.S. Mid-Atlantic states is expected on Thursday and Friday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts.
Slight strengthening is possible tonight before the center of Debby
reaches the coast of South Carolina. Weakening is forecast to begin
on Thursday after the center moves inland. Debby is expected to
merge with a frontal boundary over the U.S. Mid-Atlantic states on
Friday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km)
from the center. NOAA buoy 41013 at Frying Pan Shoals recently
reported a wind gust of 40 mph (65 km/h).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure based on NOAA buoy data is
995 mb (29.39 inches).
