Tropical Tropical storm Claudette
- Thread starter Snowfan
- Start date
Looks like a widespread gutter runner back in NE GA. Impressive 
Looks like 1.38 on my station but I’m not sure I trust it compared to nearby plus mine has had rain issues. Prolly around an inch, five or take a couple tenths
Heavy rain bands continue to move through … too bad this is suppose to be south of Charlestown
.95 at the house

This doesn’t count as Claudette rain, the main circulation will give us zilch.

Picked up 0.93” of pre-Claudette rain from that band earlier today. I’ll take it.
Don’t know how we mess this one up .. we can’t right ?

Excuse me, 1.5”. Forgot that I didn’t empty the huge from rain a couple few days ago. But still have storms rolling through today and with the front Tuesday, I think another 1”-2” is really possible.

So let me get this straight. Claudette gets named after landfall and is now predicted to regain tropical storm status while still over land??
I mean models have been showing it start to regain intensity at this point for the last few days, but the mechanisms that are causing the strengthening isn’t tropical, so I’m not really sure how we can’t be referring to this as sub-tropical or even post tropical
SD getting dry slotted!

Of course. Precip drying up north of the atmospheric wall separating Apex from Raleigh.

SUMMARY...A couple of transient supercells may pose an isolated risk
for a tornado or two through the afternoon. It is uncertain whether
a tornado watch is needed.
DISCUSSION...Radar imagery this afternoon shows developing storms
over central SC to the east and ahead of the center of Claudette.
Additional storms exhibiting supercellular characteristics have been
observed over northeast NC during the past 30 minutes. The airmass
over the Carolina Piedmont/coastal plain has destabilized with
temperatures in the mid 80s and dewpoints in the low to mid 70s.
Based on 88D VAD data, the largest hodograph is observed from the
Morehead City, NC VAD where some veering and strengthening of winds
to 30-35 kt at 2km AGL was noted. Weaker flow was sampled by the
Raleigh, NC and Columbia, SC VADs and their hodographs were much
more limited in size. As it stands, it appears the highest
conditional risk for a tornado is over parts of eastern NC during
the afternoon due to the larger hodographs.
Getting a solid bow on the storm that came by here. Prob needs a warning soon
Eh velo is weak

Quite the light show going on right now. Probably most intense storm we've had in a really long time.
Rain and thinder on SE Wake. No wind.

Ofb pushing east, cell direction aligning more south to north. Rain train Choo choo
CAE eyewall lol
It always impresses me how efficient these tropical air masses are at adding up rainfall. I’m at 3.25 since midnight and aside from about 20 minutes this morning and what I’ve been seeing the last 15 minutes, it hasn’t been a true downpour… with this what’s over me know, I might make a run at 4 inches in the next couple hours and it just seems we’re in a good spot for me to develop and move over until the center passes to the south
