<sod>'''Hurricane Dennis''' was a [[North Atlantic hurricane]] that affected [[The Bahamas]] and parts of the [[Mid-Atlantic states|Mid-Atlantic]] and [[Northeastern United States|Northeast]] during the [[1999 Atlantic hurricane season]]. The fifth [[tropical cyclone]], fourth tropical storm, and third hurricane of the season, Dennis originated from a [[tropical wave]] that passed north of the [[Leeward Islands]] in mid-to-late August. Moving [[west-northwest]], the wave organized into a tropical depression on August 24. Tracking just [[north]] of [[Grand Turk Island|Grand Turk]] that same day, the depression was upgraded to a tropical storm just several hours later. Positioned on the eastern end of an elongated [[Trough (meteorology)|trough]], Dennis was embedded within an area of high [[wind shear]]. However, despite this, the storm strengthened into a hurricane on August&nbsp;26, and then further into Category&nbsp;2 hurricane status on August&nbsp;28. Moving in an erratic motion off the North Carolina coastline, Dennis became entangled within a [[cold front]] that caused dry air to impact the circulation, thus weakening the storm to a tropical storm. On August&nbsp;30, Dennis made landfall along the Outerbanks of North Carolina, resulting in tropical storm-force sustained winds and hurricane-force gusts in the area. Rapidly weakening, Dennis weakened into a tropical depression over the central portion of North Carolina, and was absorbed within a larger [[extratropical cyclone|extratropical low]] on September&nbsp;8, while located over [[Canada]].<eod>
