The Gulf system we’ve been following has morphed into a non-tropical coastal storm on schedule. The combination of the ex-disturbance, a front, and tropical moisture from ex-Hurricane Lidia will produce widespread rain along the Gulf coast from Texas to Florida.

Sheesh and of course. Every camping trip I’ve planned this year has been thwarted by rain or a hurricane. Hoping and praying this one stays far away.

It will according to the models, far away from North Carolina

I worry about the potential impacts to the Caribbean though

Hurricane Tammy tracks north with potential threat to Bermuda this weekend

Hurricane Tammy is moving north over the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean after pounding the northeastern Caribbean islands with hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall over the weekend.

www.foxweather.com

Hurricane-force winds and heavy rainfall impacted the northeastern Caribbean islands over the weekend as Hurricane Tammy made landfall on the island of Barbuda late Saturday night. But Tammy is now pulling away from the islands as it heads northwest into the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, and it could track near Bermuda later this week.

I cannot describe the opening sentence of the forecast discussion.

"A nightmare scenario is unfolding for southern Mexico this evening
with rapidly intensifying Otis approaching the coastline."

"This is an extremely serious situation for the Acapulco
metropolitan area with the core of the destructive hurricane likely
to come near or over that large city early on Wednesday. There are
no hurricanes on record even close to this intensity for this part
of Mexico."
