Debby will exit the Northeast on Saturday.
Debby, which weakened from a tropical storm to a tropical depression Thursday afternoon, is slamming the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast with heavy rain on Friday.
Debby made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday and crawled up the East Coast all week.
Debby, now a post-tropical cyclone, is slamming the Northeast with heavy rain.
A life-threatening flash flood emergency was issued in northern Pennsylvania and southern New York due to fast-moving floodwaters.
A flood watch remains in effect for parts of nine states from South Carolina to New Hampshire due to the intense rain.
Showers with some downpours will continue across the Northeast through the evening. Tornadoes are also possible.
Debby will be gone by Saturday morning.
A flash flood emergency has been issued in Suwannee County in north Florida, northwest of Gainesville, where officials are reporting that water is entering structures.
Ten to 15 inches of rain has inundated the county so far and another 3 to 6 inches of rain is expected.

President Joe Biden was briefed Monday morning on the administration’s ongoing response to Debby, according to a White House official.
On Saturday, Biden approved Florida’s request for an emergency declaration and deployed rescue personnel, meals and water, the official said.
The Biden administration is in touch with officials from Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has deployed staff to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina as the storm moves north, the official said.

Debby is barreling north with winds of 70 mph.
The storm is forecast to cause major flooding across the Southeast this week.

Some of the heavy rain will make its way into Virginia by Friday and possibly to the coastal Mid-Atlantic by the weekend.
On Monday, Debby is bringing very heavy rain from Gainesville and Jacksonville, Florida, up to Savannah, Georgia, where more than 20 inches of rain is possible.
By Tuesday, Debby is expected to stall over the Southeast, bringing potentially historic rainfall to Georgia and South Carolina. Up to 30 inches of rain is possible through Thursday.
