DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 PM CDT (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression
Claudette was located near latitude 32.6 North, longitude 87.0 West.
The depression is moving toward the northeast near 14 mph (22 km/h).
A turn toward the east-northeast is expected tonight and Sunday.
On the forecast track, the system should cross portions of the 
southeast U.S. through Sunday night, and move over the coasts of 
the Carolinas into the western Atlantic Ocean on Monday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are now near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher 
gusts.  These winds are mainly occurring over the Gulf of Mexico 
well to the south of the center.  Little change in strength is 
expected tonight and Sunday.  However, the cyclone is forecast to 
become a tropical storm again when it moves across the Carolinas 
Sunday night or early Monday.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface 
observations is 1005 mb (29.68 inches).

WMO header ACUS43 KWBC or at the following link:
https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/nfdscc3.html
 
STORM SURGE:  The combination of storm surge and the tide will
cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising
waters moving inland from the shoreline.  The water could reach the
following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
 
Cape Lookout, NC to NC/VA Border...1-3 ft
 
Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances.  For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.
 
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch area
Sunday night and Monday.
 
TORNADOES: A few tornadoes are possible tonight across southeast
