"A tropical storm warning was in effect from the northern South Carolina coast to the North Carolina-Virginia border, the National Hurricane Center said. Three to 4 inches of rain had fallen in some areas along the North Carolina coast, and cities were under flood advisories as more rain was expected, said Reid Hawkins, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Wilmington, N.C."

Look to the south as well. Looks like something is forming off the Yucatan Pa.
1. FORMATION OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE IS POSSIBLE
WITHIN 100 NM EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 15.7N 79.6W TO
18.5N 85.2W WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AVAILABLE DATA DOES
NOT JUSTIFY ISSUANCE OF NUMBERED TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS
AT THIS TIME.
2. A 1009MB LOW PRESSURE CENTER EMBEDDED WITHIN A TROPICAL
WAVE LOCATED 160NM SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF KINGSTON, JAMAICA
CONTINUES TO TRACK WEST-NORTHWEST AT APPROXIMATELY 20 KNOTS.
ESTIMATED SURFACE WINDS ARE 25 TO 35 KNOTS. CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN FAVORABLE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS THIS
SYSTEM MOVES OVER VERY WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND
RETAINS STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE.
