Re: Tropical Storm Claudette

Been out all day and look what i come home too!

She certainly looks impressive on satellite, with a growing area of central deep convection, and excellent outflow. My gut feeling is that we will see a hurricane within the next 24 hours, if not within the next 12. As far as track goes, i am in good agreement with NHC's forecast... taking her across the Yucatan and into the Gulf. I think we may see more of a northerly turn and an evantual landfall on the US gulf coast... but it is way to early to say where, when, and how strong!

Anyway, will post as often as i can

Regards,
