TROPICAL STORM CLAUDETTE Discussion Thread

Still a yawner but nothing was being forecast to happen anyway until it moves further north. Say Thursday at the earliest.

The bigger thing is that it slows the thing way down. It comes in and just meanders west. 

Geez and in the middle of the night, the storm went east. This is like watching a tennis match.

Up to 80% now:

Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue over the Bay

of Campeche and southern Mexico in association with a broad

low pressure area. This system is expected to move little during

the next day or two, and any development should be slow to occur

during that time period due to its close proximity to land.

However, the disturbance should begin to move northward by

Thursday, and a tropical depression is likely to form late in

the week when the low moves across the central and

northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Regardless of development,

heavy rainfall will continue over portions of Central America

and southern Mexico during the next several days. Heavy rains

could also begin to impact portions of the northern Gulf Coast

on Friday. Please consult products from your local

meteorological service for more information.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...80 percent.

Lol my “wind friend”. Then it took my old ass about 5 minutes to do some simple math! TalonII makes me think of flying every time I see your screen name. Cool.
