Could T.S. Isaac affect the DNC, too?

[Joe Biden 2020]

We all know the threats Isaac poses to the RNC in Tampa.  However, with the forecasted track expected to take it to a landfall near Mobile, Alabama or Pensacola, Florida the rains of Isaac could greet the DNC delegates in Charlotte, as well.  Tropical systems are notorious for being flooding rains well inland of landfall and Charlotte looks to be in the path.  Do the Democrats have their own contingency plans, as well?

I was also wondering this earlier, esp. since NC is also prone to bad weather like FL and the rest of the South.

Plus, Charlotte is also on the Leeward side of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, which could exasperate the rainfall.

So... would that mean that God is an Independent? Or a Fascist? Or a Communist?

While Isaac's moisture could well affect Charlotte,  they should be over and done with by the time the DNC starts.  If Joyce reforms or the disturbance off of the Cape Verdes forms into Kirk, they potentially could cross Charlotte during the DNC, but neither event is likely.

When the parties choose these convention venues and dates, I am wondering if they should consult the local weather forecasters first?

Who is T.S. Isaac? Any relation to T.S. Eliot?

(No seriously, I got it within a split second while reading the opening post. But it was confusing at first. )

There could never be a convention in the South in that case, as the traditional time window for conventions falls squarely into Hurricane Season.

Just stay inland. Atlanta would be fine.

The parties can't very well hold their conventions in Cincinnati, because the power tends to go out if somebody sneezes, and doesn't come back on for a week.
