Tropical Storm Claudette bears down on Florida
Story Highlights
# Tropical depression strengthens to tropical storm status, forecasters say
# The storm, which formed overnight, is expected to hit land by Sunday evening
A tropical depression churning toward the Florida Panhandle on Sunday picked up strength to become Tropical Storm Claudette, the National Hurricane Center said. The depression's surface winds reached 40 mph shortly after noon ET, raising it to tropical storm status, the center said. At 11 a.m. ET, the center of the storm was about 75 miles south-southeast of Apalachicola, Florida, and about 200 miles from Pensacola, the center said. It was moving at about 14 mph, putting it on course to hit land by Sunday evening. Tropical storm warnings were in effect from the Alabama-Florida border east to the Suwannee River. A tropical storm warning means that weather conditions will deteriorate in the next 24 hours. The storm could bring 3 to 5 inches of rain, with isolated amounts up to 10 inches, and storm surges across portions of North Florida.

Tropische Storm Claudette
Afgelopen weekend is boven de oostelijke Golf van Mexico het derde tropische systeem ontstaan. Ze groeide uit tot Tropische Storm en kreeg de naam Claudette. Claudette kent slechts een korte levensduur. Ze ontstond uit een omvangrijk onweerscomplex boven het oosten van de Golf van Mexico en bereikte op 16 augustus de status Tropische Storm.
Vandaag (17 augustus) gaat ze aan land in het noordwesten van Florida tussen Pensacola en Panama City. Dit gebeurt met windsnelheden van zo'n 80 km/u en veel regen. Voor het einde van de dag zal ze de status van Tropische Storm verliezen.

Birth of Tropical Storm Claudette Forecast Well Ahead
Tropical Rainstorm Claudette is moving northward on track for the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys at midweek. The system made landfall as a moderate tropical storm near Fort Walton Beach, Fla. early Monday morning. The storm formed in a forewarned area of concern, first tipped off to AccuWeather.com readers last week by Expert Joe Bastardi. Additionally, last week, AccuWeather.com readers were first warned of the possibility of three simultaneous systems in the Atlantic for early this week: Ana, Bill and Claudette.
Tornadoes
So Far, one death is attributed to Claudette. A young man drowned at Panama City Beach, Fla. late Sunday afternoon. Isolated flash flooding and locally gusty thunderstorms will be the legacy of Claudette, northward from the central and eastern Gulf of Mexico coasts to part of the Ohio Valley into Wednesday. In a couple of incidents, the strongest thunderstorms can spawn a tornado. An anticipated tornado outbreak over the Midwest Wednesday, will not be associated with Claudette's remnants.
Steamy air
In addition to the heavy downpours, Claudette is also bringing very humid, tropical air into the Gulf Coast. The steamy air will continue to surge northward, reaching the lower Ohio Valley by Tuesday but staying west of the Appalachians. This high humidity will make afternoon temperatures feel about 10 degrees warmer than what they actually are. The only relief will be in the form of thunderstorms. Farther east, from the Carolinas to Georgia, it will be a hot day with plenty of sunshine, but the humidity will not all that high, making the day at least a little more tolerable.

Claudette Weakens
Tropical Storm Claudette has weakened into a tropical depression approximately 15 miles north-northwest of Brewton, Ala. It made landfall near Fort Walton Beach, Fla., early Monday morning. As of 8:00 a.m. EDT Monday, Claudette was located near 31.3 north and 87.2 west with a central pressure of 1011 millibars or 29.85 inches. Heavy, but very localized, flooding rainfall will be the biggest concern from this tropical depression, but there can also be minor wind damage, especially north and east of where the center of circulation tracks. Claudette will continue to weaken over land on Monday as it moves into the Deep South. Flooding rain will still be likely along the path of Claudette across the Deep South into Monday night. All tropical storm warnings have been allowed to expire.
