expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours.

For storm information specific to your area, including possible
inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your
local National Weather Service forecast office.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 130 AM CDT (0630 UTC), the center of Hurricane Sally was located
an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft and NOAA Doppler
weather radars near latitude 29.9 North, longitude 87.8 West. Sally
is moving toward the north-northeast near 2 mph (4 km/h). A
north-northeastward to northeastward motion at a slightly faster
forward speed is expected later today and tonight, followed by a
faster northeastward motion on Thursday. On the forecast track, the
center of Sally will approach the northern Gulf Coast this morning,
and make landfall in the hurricane warning area later today.
Sally is then expected to move inland across southeastern Alabama
tonight.

Recent data from An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft and
the Mobile Alabama Doppler weather radar indicate that Maximum
sustained winds have increased to near 105 mph (165 km/h) with
higher gusts. Some further strengthening is possible before Sally
makes landfall. Rapid weakening is expected after landfall occurs.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles
(205 km). A sustained wind of 81 mph (130 km/h) with a gust to 110
mph (178 km/h) was recently reported in Sally's northern eyewall by
NOAA buoy 42012, located about 50 miles southeast of Mobile,
Alabama. A sustained wind of 72 mph (117 km/h) and a gust to 90 mph
(144 km/h) were recently measured by the NOAA C-MAN observing
station on Dauphin Island, Alabama.

The minimum central pressure recently reported by the Hurricane
Hunters was 968 mb (28.58 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Sally can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC,
and on the web at http://www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml

RAINFALL: Sally is forecast to produce 10 to 20 inches of rainfall
with isolated amounts of 30 inches along and just inland of the
central Gulf Coast from the Florida Panhandle west of the
Apalachicola River to the Alabama/Mississippi border. Historic,
life-threatening flash flooding is likely. In addition, this
rainfall will lead to widespread moderate to major flooding on
area rivers.

Sally is forecast to turn inland today and track across the
Southeast producing rainfall of 4 to 8 inches, with isolated maximum
amounts of 12 inches, across portions of southeastern Mississippi,
southern and central Alabama, central and northern Georgia, and the
western Carolinas. Significant flash and urban flooding is likely,
as well as widespread minor to moderate flooding on some rivers.

STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Dauphin Island AL to Okaloosa/Walton County FL Line...4-7 ft
Pensacola Bay and Choctawhatchee Bay FL...4-7 ft
Mobile Bay...3-5 ft
Okaloosa/Walton County Line to Walton/Bay County line FL...2-4 ft
Mouth of the Mississippi River to MS/AL Border including
Lakes Pontchartrain, Maurepas and Borgne...1-3 ft
MS/AL Border to Dauphin Island AL...2-4 ft
Walton/Bay County line to Chassahowitzka FL including Saint Andrew
Bay...1-3 ft

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of
onshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and
damaging waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative
timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over
short distances. For information specific to your area, please see
products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast
office.

WIND: Hurricane conditions are spreading onshore within the
hurricane warning area in Florida and Alabama. Tropical storm
conditions will continue in portions of the warning areas through
tonight.

TORNADOES: A few tornadoes may occur through today across portions
of the Florida Panhandle and southern Alabama.

SURF: Swells from Sally will continue to affect the coast from the
Florida Big Bend westward to southeastern Louisiana during the next
couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your
local weather office.


NEXT ADVISORY
-------------
Next intermediate advisory at 100 AM CDT.
Next complete advisory at 400 AM CDT.

Hurricane Sally Special Discussion Number 20
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL192020
130 AM CDT Wed Sep 16 2020

Justification for this special advisory is to increase the
initial intensity and the 12-h forecast intensity at landfall.

Observations from an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft and Mobile
Alabama WSR-88D Doppler radar data indicate that Sally has continued
to strengthen this morning. Radar data show that Sally's eye has
become better defined and Doppler velocities in the northern eyewall
have reached average values of at least 110 kt between 5000-6000 ft
ASL, which supports an equivalent surface wind speed of about 89 kt.
The reconnaissance aircraft has recently measured peak 700-mb
flight-level winds of 103 kt, which equates to about 93 kt using a
standard 90 percent adjustment factor, while peak SFMR surface wind
speed have been 85 kt. In addition, a recent dropsonde in the
northeast eyewall measured an average wind speed of 113 kt in the
lowest 150 meters, which equates to about a 94-kt surface wind.
However, those winds appeared to be possibly contaminated by wind
gusts. Based on the above data, the initial intensity has been
increased to 90 kt.

Some additional slight strengthening is possible until landfall
occur, and Sally could peak at 95 kt. Rapid weakening will occur
after the center moves inland, and the system should become a
remnant low in a couple of days. This is consistent with the
latest model guidance.

Radar and aircraft center fixes indicate that Sally's motion is
north-northeastward, or 030/02 kt. No changes were made to the
previous track forecast. Sally should continue to move
north-northeastward this morning, and then turn northeastward with
a gradual increase in forward speed by tonight. That motion will
then continue for the next day or so. Then, as Sally approaches the
westerly flow at higher latitudes, the cyclone should turn toward
the east-northeast with a slight further increase in forward speed
until becoming a dissipating remnant low near the southeast U.S.
coast in 2-3 days. The official forecast is close to the latest
corrected dynamical model consensus, HCCA, prediction.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. Historic, life-threatening flash flooding due to rainfall is
likely through Wednesday along and just inland of the coast from the
Florida Panhandle west of the Apalachicola River to the
Alabama/Mississippi border. Widespread moderate to major river
flooding is forecast across the Florida Panhandle and southern
Alabama. Significant flash and urban flooding, as well as
widespread minor to moderate river flooding, is likely across inland
portions of Mississippi and Alabama, and into Georgia and the
western Carolinas this week.

2. Life-threatening storm surge is expected along portions of the
coastline from Alabama to the western Florida Panhandle, including
Mobile Bay.

3. Hurricane conditions are expected this morning and then continue
into this afternoon within portions of the Hurricane Warning area
along the Mississippi and Alabama coastlines and the western Florida
Panhandle.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 400 AM CDT (0900 UTC), the center of the eye of Hurricane Sally
was located an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft and NOAA
Doppler weather radars near latitude 30.1 North, longitude 87.7
West. Sally is moving toward the north-northeast near 3 mph (6
km/h). A north-northeastward to northeastward motion at a slightly
faster forward speed is expected later today and tonight, followed
by a faster northeastward motion on Thursday. On the forecast
track, the center of Sally will approach the northern Gulf Coast
this morning, and make landfall in the hurricane warning area later
today. Sally is then expected to move inland across southeastern
Alabama tonight.

Recent data from An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft and
the Mobile Alabama Doppler weather radar indicate that maximum
sustained winds are near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some slight increase in strength is possible before the center of
Sally's eye makes landfall later this morning. Rapid weakening is
expected after landfall occurs.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles
(205 km). A sustained wind of 98 mph (157 km/h) and a gust to 116
mph (187 km/h) were recently measured by an elevated NOS CO-OP
observing station in Fort Morgan, Alabama. A University of
Florida weather tower located at Gulf Shores, Alabama, reported a
sustained wind speed of 75 mph (121 km/h) and a gust to 93 mph
(150 km/h). NOAA buoy 42012, located about 50 miles southeast of
Mobile, Alabama, recently reported a sustained wind of 71 mph (115
km/h) and a pressure of 970.9 mb inside the eastern portion of
Sally's eye.

The estimated minimum central pressure based on the buoy data is
965 mb (28.50 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Sally can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC,
and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml

RAINFALL: Through this afternoon, Sally will produce additional
rainfall totals of 8 to 12 inches with localized higher amounts
possible along and just inland of the central Gulf Coast from west
of Tallahassee, Florida to Mobile Bay, Alabama. Storm totals of 10
to 20 inches to isolated amounts of 35 inches is expected. Historic
and catastrophic flooding is unfolding. In addition, this rainfall
will lead to widespread moderate to major river flooding.

Sally is forecast to turn northeastward after making landfall today
and move across the Southeast through Friday, producing the
following rainfall totals:

Southern and central Alabama to central Georgia: 4 to 8 inches, with
isolated maximum amounts of 12 inches. Significant flash and urban
flooding is likely, as well as widespread minor to moderate flooding
on some rivers.

Western South Carolina into western and central North Carolina: 4 to
6 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 9 inches. Widespread
flash and urban flooding is possible, as well as minor to moderate
river flooding.

Southeast Virginia: 2 to 5 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of
7 inches. Scattered flash and urban flooding is possible, as well as
scattered minor river flooding.

STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Dauphin Island AL to Okaloosa/Walton County FL Line...4-7 ft

Hurricane Sally Discussion Number 21
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL192020
400 AM CDT Wed Sep 16 2020

There has been little change in Sally's convective structure during
the past few hours as seen in radar and satellite data. The initial
intensity of 90 kt is based on previous reconnaissance SFMR surface
wind data of 88 kt in the northeastern quadrant, along with average
Doppler radar values of 114 kt between 4500-5000 ft ASL, which
supports an equivalent surface wind speed of about 90 kt. The
reconnaissance aircraft has recently measured peak 700-mb
flight-level winds of 110 kt, but those winds may not be making it
down to the surface based on earlier buoy wind reports underneath
the eyewall. Although the northern eyewall has moved onshore between
Mobile Bay and Pensacola Bay, some slight strengthening is still
possible until the center of Sally's eye makes landfall later this
morning. Rapid weakening is forecast after the center moves inland,
and the system should become a remnant low in a couple of days.
This is consistent with the latest model guidance.

Radar and aircraft center fixes indicate that Sally's motion is
north-northeastward, or 020/03 kt. No significant changes were
required to the previous track forecast. The latest NHC model
guidance continues to show Sally moving slowly north-northeastward
this morning, and then turn northeastward with a gradual increase in
forward speed by tonight. That motion should then continue for the
next day or so. As Sally approaches the mid-latitude westerlies at
higher latitudes, the tropical cyclone should turn toward the
east-northeast with some slight increase in forward speed until it
becomes a dissipating remnant low near the southeastern U.S. coast
in 2-3 days. The official forecast is close to the latest corrected
dynamical model consensus, HCCA, prediction.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. Historic and catastrophic flooding is unfolding along and just
inland of the coast from west of Tallahassee, Florida, to Mobile
Bay, Alabama. In addition, widespread moderate to major river
flooding is forecast. Significant flash and urban flooding, as well
as widespread minor to moderate river flooding, is likely across
inland portions Alabama into central Georgia. Widespread flash and
urban flooding is possible, as well as widespread minor to moderate
river flooding, across western South Carolina into western and
central North Carolina. Scattered flash and urban flooding is
possible, as well as scattered minor river flooding in southeast
Virginia.

2. Life-threatening storm surge is occurring along portions of the
coastline from Alabama to the western Florida Panhandle, including
Pensacola Bay and southern portions of Mobile Bay.

3. Hurricane conditions are expected this morning and then continue
into this afternoon within portions of the Hurricane Warning area
along the Mississippi and Alabama coastlines and the western Florida
Panhandle.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of the eye of Hurricane Sally
was located by NOAA Doppler weather radars near latitude 30.4 North,
longitude 87.6 West. Sally is moving toward the north-northeast near
3 mph (6 km/h). A north-northeastward to northeastward motion at a
slightly faster forward speed is expected later today and tonight,
followed by a faster northeastward motion on Thursday. On the
forecast track, the center of Sally will move across the extreme
western Florida panhandle and southeastern Alabama through early
Thursday, and move over central Georgia Thursday afternoon through
Thursday night.

Doppler weather radar data indicate that the maximum sustained
winds are near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is
expected as the center moves inland today and tonight.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125
miles (205 km). A sustained wind of 74 mph (119 km/h) and a gust to
92 mph (148 km/h) were recently reported at the Pensacola Naval Air
Station in Pensacola, Florida.

The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface
observations is 967 mb (28.56 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Sally can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC,
and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml

RAINFALL: Through this afternoon, Sally will produce additional
rainfall totals of 8 to 12 inches with localized higher amounts
possible along and just inland of the central Gulf Coast from west
of Tallahassee, Florida to Mobile Bay, Alabama. Storm totals of 10
to 20 inches to isolated amounts of 35 inches is expected. Historic
and catastrophic flooding is unfolding. In addition, this rainfall
will lead to widespread moderate to major river flooding.

Sally is forecast to turn northeastward after making landfall today
and move across the Southeast through Friday, producing the
following rainfall totals:

Southern and central Alabama to central Georgia: 4 to 8 inches, with
isolated maximum amounts of 12 inches. Significant flash and urban
flooding is likely, as well as widespread minor to moderate flooding
on some rivers.

Western South Carolina into western and central North Carolina: 4 to
6 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 9 inches. Widespread
flash and urban flooding is possible, as well as minor to moderate
river flooding.

Southeast Virginia: 2 to 5 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of
7 inches. Scattered flash and urban flooding is possible, as well as
scattered minor river flooding.

STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

AL/FL Border to Okaloosa/Walton County Line, FL including Pensacola
Bay and Choctawhatchee Bay...4-7 ft
Okaloosa/Walton County Line, FL to Walton Bay County Line, FL...2-4
ft
Dauphin Island, AL to AL/FL Border including Bon Secour Bay...2-4 ft
Walton Bay County Line, FL to Chassahowitzka, FL including Saint
Andrew Bay...1-3 ft

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of
onshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and
damaging waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative
timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over
short distances. For information specific to your area, please see
products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast
office.

WIND: Hurricane conditions are spreading onshore within the
hurricane warning area in Florida and Alabama. Tropical storm
conditions will continue in portions of the warning areas through
tonight.

TORNADOES: A few tornadoes may occur today and tonight across
portions of the Florida Panhandle, southern Alabama, and
southwestern Georgia.

SURF: Swells from Sally will continue to affect the coast from the
Florida Big Bend westward to southeastern Louisiana during the next
couple of days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your
local weather office.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1000 AM CDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Sally was located
by NWS Doppler radar and surface observations near latitude 30.6
North, longitude 87.4 West. Sally is moving toward the north-
northeast near 5 mph (7 km/h), and a north-northeastward to
northeastward motion at a slightly faster forward speed is expected
later today and tonight. A faster northeastward motion is forecast
Thursday and Thursday night. On the forecast track, the center of
Sally will move across the extreme western Florida panhandle and
southeastern Alabama through early Thursday, move over central
Georgia on Thursday, and move over South Carolina Thursday night.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 80 mph (130 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional weakening is expected as the center
moves farther inland this afternoon and tonight, and Sally is
forecast to become a tropical depression by Thursday morning.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles
(205 km). A wind gust of 82 mph (135 km/h) was recently observed at
the Pensacola Naval Air Station, in Pensacola, Florida. A wind gust
of 68 mph (110 km/h) was recently reported at the Mobile Downtown
Airport, in Mobile, Alabama.

The estimated minimum central pressure based on surface observations
is 975 mb (28.79 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Sally can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC,
and on the web at http://www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml

RAINFALL: Through this afternoon, Sally will produce additional
rainfall totals of 8 to 12 inches with localized higher amounts
possible along and just inland of the central Gulf Coast from west
of Tallahassee, Florida to Mobile Bay, Alabama. Storm totals of 10
to 20 inches to isolated amounts of 35 inches are expected. Historic
and catastrophic flooding, including widespread moderate to major
river flooding, is unfolding.

Sally will track across the Southeast through Friday, producing the
following rainfall totals:

Central Alabama to central Georgia: 4 to 8 inches, with isolated
amounts of 12 inches. Significant flash and urban flooding is
likely, as well as widespread minor to moderate flooding on some
rivers.

Western South Carolina into western and central North Carolina: 4 to
6 inches, with isolated amounts of 9 inches. Widespread flash and
urban flooding is possible, as well as minor to moderate river
flooding.

Southeast Virginia: 2 to 5 inches, with isolated amounts of 7
inches. Scattered flash and urban flooding is possible, as well as
scattered minor river flooding.

STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

AL/FL Border to Okaloosa/Walton County Line, FL including Pensacola
Bay and Choctawhatchee Bay...4-7 ft
Okaloosa/Walton County Line, FL to Walton/Bay County Line, FL...2-4
ft
Dauphin Island, AL to AL/FL Border including Bon Secour Bay...2-4 ft

Hurricane Sally Discussion Number 22
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL192020
1000 AM CDT Wed Sep 16 2020

NWS Doppler Radar and fixes from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane
Hunter aircraft indicate that Sally made landfall near Gulf Shores,
Alabama, around 0945 UTC with an intensity of 90 kt and a minimum
central pressure of 965 mb. Since that time, the center has been
inching its way inland over southeastern Alabama and the extreme
western portion of the Florida panhandle. The eye has degraded in
radar imagery, and Doppler velocities are gradually decreasing.
The intensity has therefore been reduced to 70 kt for this
advisory. Sally should continue to rapidly weaken today, and once
the majority of the circulation is onshore by Thursday morning, it
should weaken to a tropical depression. The remnant low is forecast
to be absorbed by a frontal boundary near the southeastern United
States coastline in a couple of days.

Radar and the earlier aircraft fixes show that the longer-term
motion is 030/4 kt. Sally should continue to move north-
northeastward to northeastward with a gradual increase in forward
speed as it enters the southern extent of the mid-latitude
westerlies over the next 24-36 hours. A faster east-northeastward
motion is expected by 36-48 hours before Sally or its remnants
merge with the aforementioned frontal zone. The updated NHC track
forecast is close to the HFIP corrected consensus, which is
slightly north of the previous advisory.

As Sally moves inland, ongoing heavy rainfall and flooding will
spread northeastward across southeastern Alabama and portions of
Georgia and western South Carolina during the next day or two.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Historic and catastrophic flooding, including widespread moderate
to major river flooding, is unfolding along and just inland from
west of Tallahassee, Florida, to Mobile Bay, Alabama. Significant
and widespread flooding is likely across inland portions of Alabama
into central Georgia, and possible across western South Carolina,
western and central North Carolina, and far southeast Virginia.

2. Life-threatening storm surge is occurring along portions of the
coastline from Alabama to the western Florida Panhandle, including
Pensacola Bay.

3. Hurricane conditions are expected to continue this afternoon
within portions of the Hurricane Warning area in southern Alabama
and the western Florida panhandle.

Key messages for Sally can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC,
and on the web at http://www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT4.shtml

RAINFALL: Sally has produced storm totals of 10 to 20 inches, with
isolated amounts of 30-35 inches, across the central Gulf Coast from
the Florida Panhandle west of Tallahassee to Mobile Bay, Alabama.
Historic and catastrophic flooding, including widespread moderate to
major river flooding, will continue across this region. Additional
rainfall of 1 to 4 inches is possible across the Florida Panhandle
from Tallahassee to the Apalachicola River.

Rainfall totals expected as Sally tracks across the Southeast
through Friday:

Southern Alabama and central Georgia: 4 to 8 inches with isolated
amounts of 12 inches, resulting in significant flash flooding and
widespread minor to moderate and isolated major river flooding.

Central to upstate South Carolina: 4 to 7 inches, with isolated
amounts of 10 inches. Widespread flash flooding and minor to
moderate river flooding is possible.

Western to central North Carolina and far southeast Virginia: 4 to 6
inches, isolated amounts up to 8 inches. Scattered flash flooding
and widespread minor river flooding is possible.

STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated
areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

AL/FL Border to Walton/Bay County Line, FL including Pensacola Bay
and Choctawhatchee Bay...2-4 ft
Walton/Bay County Line, FL to Chassahowitzka, FL including Saint
Andrew Bay...1-3 ft

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of
onshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and
damaging waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative
timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over
short distances. For information specific to your area, please see
products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast
office.

WIND: Tropical storm conditions will continue in portions of the
warning area tonight.

TORNADOES: A few tornadoes may occur this afternoon and tonight
across portions of northern Florida and southern Georgia. The
threat of tornadoes will shift northeastward into parts of eastern
Georgia and much of the Carolinas on Thursday.

SURF: Swells from Sally will continue to affect the Gulf Coast
from the Florida Big Bend westward to southeastern Louisiana during
the next day or so. These swells are likely to cause life-
threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.

Tropical Storm Sally Discussion Number 23
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL192020
400 PM CDT Wed Sep 16 2020

The center of Sally continued its slow trek inland across the
far western Florida Panhandle early this afternoon, and it is
now located over southeastern Alabama. The satellite and radar
presentation of the storm has continued to degrade, and surface
observations and Doppler radar data show that winds have continued
to gradually decrease. The initial intensity has been reduced to
50 kt, and rapidly weakening should continue as the circulation
moves farther inland. Sally is forecast to become a tropical
depression tonight or early Thursday, and degenerate into a remnant
low in 36-48 hours. The system is expected to be absorbed by a
frontal boundary near the southeast U.S. coast on Friday.

Sally is moving north-northeastward at a slightly faster forward
speed of 6 kt. The cyclone should turn northeastward and move at a
slightly faster forward speed as it become embedded within the
southern extent of the mid-latitude westerlies, and this general
motion should continue until dissipation occurs. The dynamical
models are tightly clustered and the NHC track is near the center
of envelope.

Although the winds and storm surge from Sally are expected to
continue to subside this evening, heavy rainfall and flooding will
continue to spread inland over southeastern Alabama, central
Georgia, and western South Carolina over the next day or so.

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Historic and catastrophic flooding, including widespread moderate
to major river flooding, is unfolding along and just inland from
west of Tallahassee, Florida to Mobile Bay, Alabama. Significant and
widespread flooding is expected across inland portions of Alabama,
central Georgia and upstate South Carolina, and widespread flooding
is possible across western/central North Carolina, and far southeast
Virginia.

2. Life-threatening storm surge is occurring along portions of the
coastline of the western Florida Panhandle, including Pensacola Bay.

3. Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue this evening
within portions of the Tropical Storm warning area in southern
Alabama, and the western Florida panhandle.

Tropical Depression Sally Discussion Number 24
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL192020
1000 PM CDT Wed Sep 16 2020

Although it remains a prodigious rain producer, surface
observations indicate that Sally has weakened to a 30-kt depression
over southeastern Alabama. The cyclone will continue to gradually
spin down over the southeastern United States, and is likely to
become a remnant low pressure system before merging with
a frontal zone near North Carolina on Friday.

The cyclone is moving northeastward near 8 kt. A northeastward to
east-northeastward motion is expected over the next 36 hours or so
as the system moves to the south of a broad trough over the
northeastern United States. The official track forecast is about
in the middle of the model guidance.


KEY MESSAGES:

1. Significant and widespread flooding is expected across inland
portions of Alabama, central Georgia and upstate South Carolina, and
widespread flooding is possible across western/central North
Carolina, and far southeast Virginia. Most widespread moderate to
major river flooding will crest by the weekend, but rivers will
remain elevated across southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
