ATL: SALLY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Jag95]

Unless it starts taking more of a westward tilt, I'm thinking this may be going to end up closer to the MS/AL line.

[ElectricStorm]

Whoa this escalated quickly

[Buck]

Might have a long day ahead of us... I'm already struggling to focus on the work I need to get done... dang Sally...

Also, I just discovered this forum has a feature where you can ignore users!

Big/Mustang Sally is coming!

[Kazmit]

Wow, it's really RI'ing now.

[us89]

This is definitely already a Cat 2 in the NE quadrant.

Not quite. FL winds are higher than surface.

Recon data would support surface winds of 80 kt - so a high end, 90 mph category 1.

GFS initialized a whole degree latitude too far west. Yikes

[Dean4Storms]

That center location from the earlier 991mb reading is definitely a short term at least NW movement.

[TheStormExpert]

Sally is going through RI at the moment!

eyewall wrapping around to the west and SW side now..

not good. if that closes off..

talk about a rude awakening for northern gulf coast people

and the North/NE turn from the stronger ensemble members is looking more likely now.. so Mobile and even western panhandle are back in play..

[TheStormExpert]

Whoa this escalated quickly

Be thankful the shear kept her in check all day yesterday or we’d likely be looking at another Laura or worse.

This is ominously enthusiastic lol

[hurricaneCW]

Landfall could end up over or just east of Mobile, AL

Massive swath of flooding will be greatest danger, surge risks will increase as well. I think the impacts could be much worse than Laura.

[CrazyC83]

After the VDM, I'd expect a Special Advisory - probably about 11:30 am CT.

[tiger_deF]

It might be worse that it only just started seriously intensifying now while it looked like slop for days, better chance of inner core features causing some weakening and people would expect it. If this becomes a major cane, people will be totally unprepared, especially to the west

Hurricane now! 85 mph!
