Tropical Storm Debby’s path shifts, less rain coming to Massachusetts

BOSTON – Tropical Storm Debby is once again strengthening and headed for a second landfall near Charleston, South Carolina Wednesday night.

Debby path

There is a slight chance it could continue to strengthen and become a minimal hurricane again just before it reaches land. From there, Debby will stay inland, over land, and start to increase its forward speed as it heads northward through Pennsylvania and New York state.

At the same time, Debby will rapidly deteriorate, losing its tropical characteristics. By the time it reaches the Northeast, it will be a regular area of low pressure, albeit with some very heavy rain along and west of its track.

The center of Debby’s remnants will pass several hundred miles west of the Boston area bringing the heaviest rain west of New England.

There will be 3-to-6 inches of rain in parts of Pennsylvania and New York state. Farther to the east, into New England, we only expect a half inch to an inch or two of rain at most.

If you have plans for the weekend in Massachusetts, there’s great news! Debby’s remnants are going to fly through here at rapid speed.

It’s likely that the highest impacts for New England will come late Friday night and be long gone by Saturday.

Models are showing something similar to a squall line Friday night with the potential of a brief period of heavy downpours and a risk of a few severe thunderstorms.

Weekend forecast

Other than a few leftover clouds and a very early shower, Saturday should feature plenty of sunshine and comfortable, dry air!

The outlook is equally as nice for Sunday and the beginning of next week. We should have several days of sunshine and without the heat and humidity we have been experiencing as of late.

Injured Massachusetts teen thanks rescuers who

Two Plymouth, Massachusetts teens were saved from the summit of Mount Washington after a leg injury stranded them.

Khang Nguyen,17, said he and his friend, 18-year-old Vaughn Webb, thought they were well prepared for their hike on Saturday. They brought trekking poles, layers, microspikes for their boots and more.

But halfway up the trail, Nguyen feared the worst when his leg began to hurt.

“It was just incredibly painful to lift up my right leg,” he explained. “I told [Vaughn] to leave me behind so I could go on my own pace and for him to reach the summit to get help at first.”

The pair managed to reach the top of the mountain but had to seek shelter next to a building as wind gusts increased, and the air temperature reached 38 degrees. Nguyen said they also ran out of food and water. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department received the 911 call around 7:30 p.m. and quickly alerted a State Park employee who began to search for the two teens.

“Conservation Officers then began responding in four-wheel-drive pickup trucks to try and get to the summit and back ahead of incoming snow,” the game department said in a statement.

After around 30 minutes of reaching both Webb and Nguyen were found. They were taken inside a building and Nguyen was being treated for his injury.

“The worker that was up there, [said] that they came in record time, and we appreciate their help a lot. It saved our lives potentially,” Nguyen explained.

The pair was successfully taken off the mountain by 10 p.m. The two teens are now safely back in Massachusetts and are incredibly grateful to their rescuers.
