TL;DR

Tropical Storm Idalia is losing strength after causing heavy rainfall and flooding in North Carolina. Meanwhile, Hurricane Franklin is moving away from Bermuda, bringing dangerous surf and rip currents to the mid-Atlantic and northeastern United States. Tropical Storm Jose has formed southeast of Franklin and is expected to be absorbed by it. The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring a tropical wave off the coast of Africa and the remnants of Hurricane Gert. Idalia is forecasted to become a post-tropical cyclone, while Franklin is expected to weaken and become an extratropical cyclone.
