AccuWeather meteorologists are watching a ripple in the tropical Atlantic for possible development and a turn toward the United States next week. On the heels of Debby, confidence is growing that a new feature currently over the south-central Atlantic may become the next tropical storm or hurricane in the coming days, and it may have eyes for the East Coast of the United States, AccuWeather meteorologists advise.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
