Notices
Port of Savannah remains at Port Readiness Condition YANKEE due to the potential impact from Tropical Storm Debby. Will keep all parties updated of any changes.
At 800 AM EDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Debby was
located by an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft near latitude
32.2 North, longitude 79.4 West. Debby is moving toward the
northeast near 4 mph (6 km/h). A turn toward the north and
north-northwest is expected today, bringing the center of Debby to
the South Carolina coast by tonight or early Thursday. A faster
motion toward the north and north-northeast across the Carolinas and
the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region is expected on Thursday and Friday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some strengthening is possible today or 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 175 miles (280 km)
from the center. A wind gust to 44 mph (70 km/h) was recently
reported at Murells Inlet South Carolina.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 995 mb (29.39 inches).
