VIRGINIA NWS ON FABY

[rainstorm]

. TROPICAL SYSTEM IN GULF AND FABIAN NEED TO BE WATCHED
CAREFULLY BASED ON THE OVERALL UPPER PATN EVOLUTION SUGGESTED BY
ALL LONG RANGE GDNC.

Grace will likely just get entrained into the stationary front and move slowly east. That means very heavy rains Monday through Thursday for the mid atlantic. Flooding, some significant is possible during this time period as the soils become saturated!!!

Then Faby will need to be monitored very very carefully later next week into next weekend as that system will only aggreviate the problem if it makes landfall somewhere between north carolina and virginia later next week. Flooding rains and damaging winds are potential threats!! I'll highlight the long range tracks later today.

I think its a little early to call a landfall such as Viginia/North Carolina. Should stay offshore.

If we get rain from both Grace and Fabian, there's going to be a BIG problem...
