Several tornadoes were spawned by Claudette, including an EF-2 tornado that caused major damage and injured 20 people in Alabama. Rainfall along Claudette's path across the Florida Panhandle was in the 3 to 6-inch range, with a top amount of 6.2 in observed in Century, resulting in minor flooding. A storm surge of 6–12 ft flooded beaches and roadways in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Brief periods of sustained tropical storm-force winds were also experienced along the Emerald Coast. Gusts at Pensacola International Airport peaked at 81 mph, and wind damage was reported throughout the metro area. Claudette weakened into a tropical depression as it moved further inland, but not before producing heavy rain and tropical storm force winds across portions of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.įlorida Impacts from Claudette,Stronger thunderstorms well to the east of Claudette's center produced damaging winds, flooding rains, rough surf, and tornadoe s across the western Florida Panhandle. Satellite imagery then revealed a well-defined surface circulation, and the system was upgraded to Tropical Storm Claudette. On June 19, a potential tropical cyclone moved inland into Louisiana. There were no reports of any damages or casualties associated with Bill. Its northeast track soon brought the system over colder waters and into higher wind shear, resulting in Bill's transition to an extratropical cyclone on June 16. Bill reached peak winds of 65 mph on June 15 while paralleling the Northeast coastline.
The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Bill twelve hours later. This low became better defined, and a tropical depression formed east-southeast of North Carolina on June 14. In mid-June, an area of low pressure formed off the coastline of South Carolina. Ana was confronted with wind shear and became extra-tropical as it passed by Bermuda on May 24. Ana was disorganized at first, but managed to develop more persistent convection near the center and became a tropical storm on May 23. The season started a couple of weeks early on May 22, when Subtropical Storm Ana formed in the mid-Atlantic east-southeast of Bermuda. 2vL8OxpdNs- Philip Klotzbach November 15, 2021 ACE metric accounts for frequency, intensity & duration of tropical storms & #hurricanes. The globe has generated just 19 ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) over past 30 days (Oct 17 - Nov 15) - the lowest Accumulated Cyclone Energy for this period in satellite era (since 1966).
