Shetley will manage to squeeze out .25 inch while 5 miles away will have about 4 inches and flooding issues

No, Shetley will get 6 feet of rain and say that it will be over 100 and bone dry for each of the next four months.
 
I guess this isn't going to be named Claudette or even become a Tropical Depression after all. It has already made landfall.
 
Tornado confirmed near dauphin island in alabama earlier with injuries.

Track headed south again it looks like at least according to the NHC. This will end up missing most of us yet.

Atlanta looks like the "sweet" spot, I am sure all are going to get some water though.

The updated WPC forecast continues to have a swath of forecast
rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches (localized 6) over portions of
northern and central Georgia, though is a bit more confined in
areal spread. The greatest amounts still look to be generally
along the I-85 corridor. Much of the forecast area continues to be
included in the Moderate Risk within the WPC''s Excessive Rainfall
Outlook, which does include portions of the Atlanta metro area.
The current Flash Flood Watch is still warranted across portions
of north and central GA from 18Z today to 00z Monday.

An additional 1 to 1.5" of rainfall will be possible from Monday
into Tuesday in association with the incoming cold front.



I love these night light shots, shows how big metro areas are.

You are good to go there it looks like but much of upstate SC and much of NC will be too far north it looks like. Augusta GA, Columbia SC, and Wilmington NC should get a good rain out of this too, but not the I-85 corridor and north in both Carolinas.

The NWS as well as most modeling has 2-3 inches of rain forecasted for all of the SC upstate, southern mountains, foothills, and Piedmont of NC, with 1-2 inches up along the I-40 corridor.

We'll add this to the take book.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northeast Georgia, piedmont
North Carolina, western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop
this afternoon and evening. Coverage of showers and thunderstorms
is expected to increase late tonight as moisture from Tropical
Storm Claudette overspreads the area. While the main threats from
any thunderstorms will be from heavy rainfall and occasional
cloud to ground lightning, isolated flash flooding could develop
by daybreak Sunday, especially across the South Carolina and
northeast Georgia Piedmont.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

The threat for heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding will
increase across much of the area during the daylight hours Sunday. A
threat for isolated severe storms is also expected to materialize,
especially south and east of I-85. The main threats from any severe
storms will be from brief damaging wind gusts and isolated, brief
tornadoes.

SUMMARY

All in all, everyone should expect a widespread, soaking rain except JShetley.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

None.

Model consensus and NHC track keeps shifting south though. Cyclonic envelope may not be enough to throw rain north into anything but the far southern reaches of NC.

The official track forecast track is pretty much unchanged since yesterday afternoon, and most modeling has been fairly holding since then as well. Also even models that have had a more southerly track have really expanded the rainfall to the north of the center… GSP mentions this in their discussion this morning, and it’s nothing unusual for a Gulf tropical system as it moves inland. As the system begins to transition to post tropical, it should begin to develop a shield of heavy rain to the north and northwest of the center… the CAMs are starting to show this.
