Tornadoes are being reported over South Alabama as the circulation of Tropical Storm Claudette continues to move inland. A large mass of rain is moving northward as well.
On the forecast track, the system should move farther inland over Louisiana during the next few hours, then move across portions of the southeastern states later today and Sunday, and over the western Atlantic Ocean on Monday.
Claudette has formed and we’ll be dealing with tropical rain, some of which will be very heavy at times, throughout today and the first half of Sunday. Another wave of storms will move through on Monday and Tuesday, before we sort of return back to a normal summertime pattern.
Claudette is moving toward the north-northeast near 12 mph (19 km/h). A turn toward the northeast is expected later today, with a turn toward the east-northeast expected by tonight or Sunday.
