Meanwhile....
(From the National Hurricane Center)

SHOWER ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED ABOUT
450 MILES SOUTH OF HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA HAS CHANGED LITTLE DURING THE
PAST SEVERAL HOURS. THIS SYSTEM IS PRODUCING WINDS OF TROPICAL
STORM FORCE...AND ONLY A SLIGHT INCREASE IN ORGANIZATION COULD
RESULT IN THE FORMATION OF A TROPICAL STORM. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH
CHANCE...60 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE NORTHEAST AT 10 TO 15 MPH.

Yikes! We really don't need more rain.
