ATL: CLAUDETTE - Remnants - Discussion

[Ubuntwo]

Claudette looks better now, 20 hours after landfall, than it ever did over water.

[EquusStorm]

Yeah not gonna lie this pretty weird to see lol



Convection is firing all over west-central AL on the north side of the center and pressures have fallen at least 3-4mb since landfall; in fact the center seems to have caught up with, and now lies just south of, very deep vigorous convection in the Tuscaloosa area.



This is causing flooding and mudslides in the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham corridor, and you can kinda see a central dense overcast type rainfall shield setting up. I'm near Jasper and we've had moderate rain all day, and now steady sustained winds of 15-20 at times. Pretty impressive for the weakest side of an inland depression.

Yeah I agree this definitely looks more name-worthy than it did over water lol

That's not something you see very often.

Hope we don't see any fatalities with this one

Normally I don't like when they get named at around landfall, but this one has become rather intriguing.

Has the brown ocean effect had any bearing on holding Claudette together overland or has it all been baroclinic forcing?

I would assume it's baroclinic forcing but I'm not an expert on that.

It looks to me like the center of rotation has reformed SE of where it was initially. You can see it pretty clearly on ATL radar.

Got a news alert this morning that 10 people, most of them children, died in a car wreck in Alabama which was drenched in rain...Probably from Claudette.

Even more depressing it happened so close to fathers day. Cant imagine how the heavy the hearts are the families right now

*I* hope this isn't a sign of things to come.

We were forced to move this year....into a "less than sturdy" structure that I woudln't stay in for a hurricane....and I'm nervous about that.

NEVER lived in a structure i woudln't stay in for a hurricane....and I've lived in "hurricane country" the majority of my life.

Claudette is forecast to go over the Gulf Stream and have some help from baroclinic forcing. I have to wonder if it could become stronger than expected while over the Gulf Stream like Bill did. Recon is going out tomorrow (I think), so we’ll be able to know for certain.

Looks decent over central SC


The circulation has become somewhat elongated, but convection as the system approaches water will help consolidate things further.

Upgraded back to a TS in the 6z best track

Land, water...doesn't seem to make a difference to this little lady. It's all good.
