Weather Impact: Charlotte getting heavy rain and flooding as Debby drenches the Carolinas

Tropical Storm Debby made landfall in South Carolina early Thursday morning and is bringing the impacts of heavy rain and flash flooding to North Carolina.Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich said while we can't rule out severe weather from Debby in the Charlotte area, the biggest impact so far is flooding. This threat is made worse by how slow Debby is moving north. Because it's crawling, the storm is dumping heavy rain for long periods. A large portion of the Charlotte area is under a flash flood warning due to Debby's torrential rain. The flash flood warning is in effect for Anson, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Richmond, Stanly and Union counties in North Carolina, plus Chester, Chesterfield, Lancaster and York counties in South Carolina.  LATEST: https://www.wcnc.com/article/weather/weather-impact/tropical-storm-debby-heavy-rain-flooding-impacts-north-carolina-south-carolina/275-afb1ac22-5da3-469c-b1fc-37ef45448f20For the latest weather alerts from the WCNC Weather Impact Team, download the WCNC Charlotte mobile app and enable push notifications.Watch WCNC Charlotte each weekday morning from 4:30 to 7 a.m.WCNC Charlotte To Go is a daily news and weather podcast you can listen to so you can start your day with news that impacts you from the team at WCNC Charlotte.  SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts || Spotify || Pandora || TuneIn || Google Podcasts || iHeartAll of WCNC Charlotte's podcasts are free and available for both streaming and download.
