Looks like Nawlins gets a bunch of rain.

Thanks for doing these threads.

According to this, parts of Florida could use a little rain.

Last thing that area needs is more rain.

To date, much of the convection has been to the east of the system.

Thanks, again, for shepherding and posting this vital information. Much appreciated. Been following you since Ivan and perhaps earlier with Opal.

Does this storm have an official name yet?
How about Tropical Storm Lo’Queesha? //

Our local news says Atlanta may get up to 5” of rain Monday.

We need to start naming storms after heros of the sexual perversion movements...

;-)

(watch, they will actually start doing it...)

Hi.

And away we go.

Mother Nature she’s an unequal distributor of precipitation. Too much in the southeast delta region and just about nothing for the west. She’s some sort of ist or gyst in Woke terms.

Does this storm have an official name yet?

Not yet. Expect it will be named Claudette.

[NautiNurse]

5 inches of rain in ATL is a disaster. Quick, get your milk and bread before the stores are raided.

Claudette

Hurricane Ivan was a bugger in an otherwise nasty 2004 Florida storm season. Opal predates FR in 1995.

It’s so wonderful that they chose to recycle “Claudette.”

Tropical depression Claudette stalled about 1/2 on and 1/2 off the coast near Galveston in 1979 and rained something like 44” of rain in 24 hrs. I think that record still stands for the highest rainfall record in the US.

We were lucky to have only 18” in the house. I had friends who had water go over the roof of 2 story houses.

Claudette is a rocking song by the Everly Brothers, written by Roy Orbison in 1958 about his wife, Claudette.

"On 6 June, 1966, Claudette Frady Oribison, wife of the popular American singer Roy Orbison, dies in motorcycle accident in Old Hickory, Tennessee, USA. Claudette Frady was born on September 5 1941 in Odessa, Texas, USA. In 1957 Claudette Frady marries Roy Orbison. Orbison wrote and sold the song "Claudette", about his wife Frady, in 1958 to The Everly Brothers and it appeared on the B-side of their smash hit "All I Have to Do Is Dream".

Someone brought my wife home from work in a canoe in Bellaire, Texas, her car had stalled on the nearby 610 freeway. 1/2 inch more and that water would have been inside the house.

Thanks for kicking off another season for us all!

Let's hope that it is a really light (boring, uneventful) season...
