Discussion
A tropical system moving northward over the Gulf of Mexico should reach the Louisiana coastline later tonight – likely as a tropical storm which would result in the name of “Claudette”. There is plenty of wind shear over the Gulf of Mexico which is and will continue to limits its chances for any significant intensification. Once over land, this system will move to the northeast bringing some heavy rainfall to the Tennessee Valley and southeastern US later Saturday into Sunday.
