CLAUDETTE CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INLAND.  DOPPLER RADAR
SHOWS WINDS ALOFT OF AT LEAST 55 KT AT ABOUT 5000 FT ALTITUDE.
THERE ARE VERY FEW OBSERVATIONS ON WHICH TO ESTIMATE THE CURRENT
INTENSITY...BUT MY BEST GUESS IS ABOUT 45 KT.  CONTINUED WEAKENING
WILL OCCUR AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES INLAND.  THE PRIMARY THREATS NOW
ARE RAINFALL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.  CLAUDETTE IS NOW MOVING AT
270/12.  A CONTINUED WEST OR WEST-NORTHWEST TRACK IS EXPECTED UNTIL
DISSIPATION.  

WITH COASTAL WARNINGS DISCONTINUED...FUTURE PUBLIC ADVISORIES ON
CLAUDETTE WILL BE ISSUED BY THE HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION
CENTER...UNDER AWIPS HEADER TCPAT4 AND WMO HEADER WTNT34 KWNH.
