With a La Nina (opposite of El Nino) forming in the Pacific, the weather pattern has become favorable for storms to the east, in the Atlantic. It's already produced two landfalling Category-5 hurricanes in a row (unprecedented) which should be taken as a good demo of what it's capable of.

There's tropical moisture off the east coast at the moment which is beginning to show signs of developing into a named storm (Gabrielle) that could affect New England next week. The USAF 'Hurricane Hunters' just announced they are planning to fly into it this afternoon to see what's going on.

The ocean is definitely in rain-making mode - it's just a matter of waiting for the weather pattern to start bringing it here.
