A heavy rain threat is in play for parts of the South due to Tropical Depression Claudette. - Articles from The Weather Channel | weather.com
Heavy rain will spread through parts of the Deep South this weekend.
Up to 15 inches of rainfall is possible in portions of the central Gulf Coast. Further inland, from Alabama to the Carolinas, rainfall totals of 3 to 6 inches are likely with up to 8 inches in some areas.Even though wind gusts won't be overly strong across the Southeast, winds may more easily topple trees due to soaked soil from heavy rain. This may also lead to some scattered power outages near the northern Gulf Coast and into the Deep South.
Initially, a very large spin in the atmosphere over Central America, called a Central American Gyre, produced heavy rain from southern Mexico to Panama. That gyre eventually broke down and produced both Claudette and later Tropical Storm Dolores in the eastern Pacific. Claudette's worst impacts were seen late on June 18th into early on the 19th as the storm moved ashore as a disorganized low pressure system.
