{{Information

−
|Description={{en|1=A tropical wave moved through the Lesser Antilles on October 6th withour developing during the following four days.

−
On October 11, a depression formed near Swan Island. A second disturbance was seen forming on satellite imagery on

−
the 12th, with a third distrubed area forming near San Andres. The system near San Andres moved north-northwest

−
over the next couple of days, developing into Gladys by the 14th. Gladys strengthened to a hurricane just south of

−
the western Cuba. A deep trough over the Plains steered Gladys northward. The cyclone recurved into western

−
Florida near midnight on the 19th and accelerated as it passed Ocala. Quickening its pace to the northeast, Gladys

−
headed towards Cape Hatteras on the 20th.

−

−

−
The graphics below is the storm total rainfall for Gladys using data obtained from the National Climatic Data Center

−
in Asheville, North Carolina. The rainfall that fell across the East fell in advance of the storm as moisture was lured

−
northward from Gladys by a deep upper trough to the west. The rainfall from the tropical cyclone broke the worst

−
drought seen across North Carolina since 1932.
