atlantic Tropical Storm Claudette

[Somerset Squall]

A non tropical low off the east coast of the USA over the Gulf Stream has transitioned into the third tropical storm of the Atlantic season, named Claudette. Claudette has winds of 45kts. Claudette is likely to be a very short lived tropical cyclone as races northeast into the high lattitudes. Weakening will probably commence as early as tomorrow as the storm moves over progressively colder water. There is a chance Claudette could gain a little more strength before this happens, but time is really running out.

Not given a chance of development until yesterday so a pretty quick spinner. 

 

Not expected to reach more than 50mph.
