The system will bring rain, coastal flooding and rough surf from Cape Fear to Ocracoke, but also could bring tropical storm-like conditions along a path roughly from Charlotte to Mount Airy. The Triangle area could see more than two inches of rain and gusty winds as the storm slowly churns through.

A large, slowly-spinning system across the northern Caribbean and southern Gulf of Mexico could develop into something serious, forecasters said.
