The biggest impact to Northern Virginia of what ultimately remains of Tropical Storm Debby late in the week will be the risk of flooding.
The slow-moving storm is expected to drop multiple inches of rain on the local region starting Thursday [8/8] before pulling away by Saturday morning.
And that could mean challenges both for low-lying areas and those spots with poor drainage, according to the GazetteLeader’s official weather partner, AccuWeather.
On the other hand, the rainfall is likely to make up for a deficit that recently resulted in regional officials calling for judicious use of water, lest the need for drought restrictions be implemented.
