| The wave that has passed the windward islands at times seems to be a TD or even a storm and at other times an open wave. Keep your eyes on this one, it may come to visit a coast line near you soon (GOM) |

| This is the best looking tropical wave i've seen, Just won't close of the circulation and offically become a TD or Claudette. It will get there and it seems very likely it will reach the Yucatan and from there? maybe into the gulf and then close your eyes and throw a dart at the map. |

| Well we have Clausette, may even be a hurricane in a day or two, will it get past the Yucitan and into GOM and onward. Current 5 day forcast has it near Brownsville. This may be a long season. |

| Claudette will likely be a hurricane today, and will be in the gulf over the weekend, can anyone spell Texas? |

| Ship report from the Explorer of the Seas just north of the center has winds of 45knots, and look at the link this morning, she appears to be dancing around the land and regaining her form as she enters the gulf. It will be a very long weekend for the NHC, even Florida is possible this morning, and the conditions should allow for growth. |

AT 10 AM CDT...1500Z...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM CLAUDETTE WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 26.9 NORTH...LONGITUDE 92.7 WEST OR ABOUT
285 MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS.
CLAUDETTE IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHWEST NEAR 6 MPH. A TURN
TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
THIS MOTION COULD BRING THE CENTER OF CLAUDETTE NEAR THE TEXAS
COAST ON TUESDAY.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 65 MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. SOME
STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS...AND CLAUDETTE
COULD BECOME A HURRICANE LATER TODAY OR TONIGHT.

| Just out of curiosity, does anyone like to just head that way in a situation like this, without a certain assignment, or do you need a cat 3 or 4 to be so bold? I am on standby and am considering "heading that way". |

Todd, that is certainly an option you have but for the following reasons I personally would not:
1. The vendors want to keep the adjusters out of harm's way.
2. You don't know yet where she will/may hit and that coast covers a lot of miles.
3. She could change direction as Mark said or just peter out and not do any real damage.
4. If you just have to get out of Lubbock and go fishing, then get going!
Good Luck

Claudette is still wafting north with new projection from Baffin Bay to Galveston Bay and onto Louisiana Border (Port Arthur). Since these ladies like to enter bays, thereby extending their life, it could go into Baffin (Kingsville), populated Nueces Bay (Corpus), Copano Bay (Rockport), Lavaca Bay (Port Lavaca), populated Galveston Bay, or whatever. If it enters Copano Bay, and is strong enough, will have consequences for Corpus Christi as well. Likewise, above Galveston Bay is big bad Houston.
In any event, this is a large system. |

| As the storm is mostly displaced to the north and east of center, at this time, the damages will be mostly north and east, there for a landfall by Freeport would mean heavy winds for 50 to 100 miles east and inland. The sotrm is still tracking NNE and the NHC is still predicing a turn to the w or WNW. They still expect the shear to relax and for Claudette to strengthen. The big question is whether the damages are going to be in the small towns west and south of Houston or if Houston will find out if their building codes are adequate. Tomorrow will be a long and interesting day. |
