This week, we're tracking Hurricane Delta, which has weakened to a Category 1 storm after making landfall Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. Delta will strengthen - possibly up to Category 3 status - over the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico before making landfall along the gulf coast Friday.

From there, Delta will be onshore, where it will weaken as it brings rains across the Southeast -- including in the Carolinas. While what's left of Delta's low pressure circulation will remain outside the Carolinas, several inches of rain will fall over the holiday weekend. Rainfall totals as high as 4 inches are possible especially across the higher elevations of the North Carolina mountains, foothills, and South Carolina upstate.
