The former Hurricane Gabrielle is expected to bring heavy rain, high winds and a storm surge to the Azores islands despite forecasters downgrading the system.

At the coast, rain, wind, and storm surge could be issues. Inland for the Carolinas, we know the danger of inland flooding when a tropical system slows down. This could be one of those times where much of the Carolinas gets tropical rain for several days. Rain totals could approach or exceed 10 inches in some cases.
