Tropical storm Claudette is about to make landfall in Florida and as of 9pm on Sunday night its top winds are 45 knots or about 50 mph.
While winds and storm surge from the ocean aren’t typically large problems with a system of this magnitude, flooding rain is. The circulation brings in deep tropical moisture and if it is a slow enough mover can cause extreme flooding.
Right now the path for this system takes it into the Tennessee Valley. Even though the system will be much weaker then it is currently, with the amount of humidity around and temperatures generally in the 80’s the lingering left over circulation will be a bulls eye for heavy rain. While the path from the National Hurricane Center stops at Tuesday 1Am we can extrapolate a little further.
Usually a system of this size will follow the 500mb flow. As you can see from the wind barbs this system has some forcing to the west pushing the low north and east. Right now I would put Kentucky and West Virgina as the main track for the remnants of Claudette but we can’t be ruled out of the equation.
Things can change however… with no real strong current in place right now this system may decide to twist and turn a little more along the Gulf before moving northwards. So continue to watch the forecast! We’ll have to continue to monitor this situation.

Reporters like myself here at WDTN have just been given the opportunity to create blogs on the website. I am excited about the chance to interact with viewers. I’m not really sure how best to use this new tool right now, so if you have any ideas please let me know. I used to think I was technologically savvy but with every new Twitter or the like that comes out I feel I’m falling farther behind. But I’ll try to get an avatar? for you shortly and try to make this thing as interesting and informative as possible – DAVE

I just returned from a daylong bus trip to Louisville with 58 of the most influential people in our region.
The participants included government leaders, educators and business leaders from Montgomery, Greene and Clark counties.
Our mission was to see what we could learn from Louisville about attracting new jobs and energizing our downtown.
Louisville has consolidated its city and county government, and we asked the mayor if that concept would be useful and productive for Dayton.
The people on the bus with me explored several areas of consolidation and its benefits, including public safety, schools and economic development.
Louisville has used the concept to save money, and attract new projects to its downtown, geared toward retaining the coveted 25 to 49 year old
resident.
Louisville wants to “grow” its own residents so that they stay in Louisville after they graduate from college.
Louisville is also using its arts and its amateur and professional sports teams to grow its downtown.
The mayor of Louisville believes Dayton and the cities and counties around it can use the same synergy to attract new jobs for years to come.
I hope you will tell me what you think and give me ideas about how Dayton and this region can better capitalize on its shared resources.
