We now return you to our regularly scheduled weather

With most of the rain from Ernesto moving away toward a projected landfall just west of Wilmington, NC, it’s time to wait for the flooded streets to drain before life gets back to normal. Lots of rain, flooding in all the usual places and some power outages, but so far I haven’t heard of much in the way of damage.
Before people start celebrating though, there might be more rain on the way later tonight associated with a front currently moving through Georgia.
Also from NHC‘s Tropical Weather Outlook, this might be the next system to keep an eye on.

A TROPICAL WAVE LOCATED ABOUT 700 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS HAS BECOME A LITTLE BETTER ORGANIZED THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL SLOW DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS THE SYSTEM MOVES SLOWLY WESTWARD.
