Tropical Storm Claudette landfall

According to NHC, Tropical Storm Claudette made landfall in the Florida panhandle at 1:12 AM Eastern this morning. It should be downgraded to a depression by Monday evening over the southern USA.



This looks to be mainly a rain event, a short article on the landfall from CNN can be found here. Officials in the area are asking people to stay off of the roads for the remainder of the evening.

Ana, Bill, and Claudette

Well, looks like we know have 3 systems out there with the potential to have some effect on the US.

Ana has been downgraded to a depression as of this afternoon, but the forecast track brings it into the gulf where it may restrengthen.

Tropical Storm Bill will perhaps become a hurricane tonight. However, the forecast right now indicates a more northern direction so the chance for a recurve to the Atlantic is greater:



Still way to early to say for sure though.

In addition, we had Claudette pop up off the gulf Coast of Florida today. This should make a landfall this evening as a Tropical Storm in the Florida panhandle.



Barometer Bob will have a Hurricane Hollow show at 6 PM Eastern this evening to cover all 3 of these storms. Listen at WRBN.net and keep an eye on local weather info outlets and the NHC.
