The storm stalled offshore will combine with another low off the Carolina coast and give us a windswept soaker Sunday night thru Tuesday morning. Winds will gust to gale force thru the day on Monday and perhaps higher on the Cape, which will cause some coastal flooding as well. Tomas has re-gathered Hurricane status, and the center is expected to remain offshore. However, some off Tomas's moisture may get rapped into the storm causing more rain than expected as it heads towards SE Canada as a remnant low. It should dry out by the end of the week, but the warmest air will remain to our west.
