Weather Service issued flash flood watches, resulting in more evacuations. At 00:00 UTC on September 27, the hurricane reached its maximum sustained wind speed of . Later that day, Faye curved northeast under strong westerly flow. Although the system weakened to a Category 1 hurricane late on September 28, the storm reached its minimum barometric pressure of , observed by a reconnaissance aircraft. Faye then curved eastward and lost tropical characteristics, becoming extratropical at 12:00 UTC on September 29, while situated northwest of Corvo Island in the Azores. Hurricane Gladys A tropical wave emerged into the Atlantic from the west coast of Africa on September 17. The system developed into a tropical depression while located about southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands on September 22. Initially, the depression remained weak, but after encountering warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear, it strengthened into Tropical Storm Gladys on September 24. Moving west-northwestward, the storm then entered a more unfavorable environment, mainly increased wind shear. Despite this, Gladys intensified into a Category 1 hurricane on September 28. Shortly thereafter, the storm reentered an area favorable for strengthening. A well-defined eye became visible on satellite imagery by September 30. As the storm tracked to the east of the Bahamas, a curve to the north began, at which time an anticyclone developed atop the cyclone. This subsequently allowed Gladys to rapidly intensify into a Category 4 hurricane, reaching maximum sustained winds of and a minimum barometric pressure of on October 2. Thereafter, Gladys began to weaken and passed very close to Cape Race, Newfoundland, before losing tropical characteristics on October 3 while situated about northeast of St. John's. Subsequently, the remnants merged with a large extratropical cyclone on October 3. Effects from the system along the East Coast of the United States were minimal, although heavy rainfall and rough seas were reported. In Newfoundland, strong winds and light precipitation were observed. Tropical Depression Seventeen A tropical depression developed in the southern Gulf of Mexico about northwest of Campeche City in Mexico on October 14. Moving around the western periphery of a subtropical ridge, the depression intensified while moving northeast towards the central Gulf Coast of the United States due to an advancing cold front. However, the depression remained below tropical storm status, peaking with maximum sustained winds of . Early on October 17, the depression made landfall near Cocodrie, Louisiana. Shortly thereafter, the
