ATL: SALLY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[LowerAlabamaTider]

Do we know how much rain those costal towns have received already? Sally is taking her sweet time making landfall and those towns are getting downpours already according to the radar.

I saw a while ago where some places in the panhandle are over 12" now

[Snowman67]

Where is the worst of the storm surge expected?

[FLpanhandle91]

8.30 inches since 0000L this morning here in Fort Walton Beach. Winds gusting near TS force. Sustained 25mph. Expecting it to only get worse.

Hot tower alert

[Dean4Storms]

I'm sitting at 7.86" of rain so far just east of Destin.

[PTrackerLA]

That strong main feeder band looks just like what my area was under as hurricane Laura made landfall. I recorded 4.5" of rain in an hour before my power went out but thankfully it didn't stick around too long since Laura was trucking it. The same can't be said for Sally and I'm afraid 20"+ totals will be fairly widespread. Stay safe along the Alabama and NW Florida coasts tonight, you're in for a rough time.

[NDG]

Looks like pressure continues to drop.

Where is landfall looking now?

[Dean4Storms]

970mb.....Wow.

[DestinHurricane]

Where is landfall looking now?

Depends how it wobbles but it has been wobbling east. I still think perdido key with pensacola in NE eyewall.

[CrazyC83]

HH reporting FL winds at 90kts at about 3100 feet what would that normally equate to at the surface?

That would equal about 80 kt at the surface - it's at 3,100 meters actually (10,000 feet).

And that eye is clearing out some more. The water vapor loop of this last set of hot towers firing up is impressive.

[ElectricStorm]

970mb.....Wow.

Yikes she's trying her absolute hardest to strengthen before landfall

[Dean4Storms]

Where is landfall looking now?

I'd say AL/FL border to P'Cola.

[feederband]

Heavy Rains in Lakeland... Was expecting nothing from Sally tonight.


LMS

[PTrackerLA]

Where is landfall looking now?

I'd say Florabama give or take 10 miles W/E. Stay safe Ivanhater!


We were just @ Port Side Villas on western Pensacola Beach in early August. I hope the surge doesn't top the dunes there but the beach had receded big time since the renourishment a few years ago .

[Aric Dunn]

Has Aric checked in lately? He hasn't posted any new videos from Perdido Key in a while, unless he's napping before the long night.

Wondered that as well. Had just checked and didn’t see anything new.

Thats funny.. i was actually napping. Lol

I was charging all my stuff in prep for the night and took a quick nap.

We are still in perdido but are debating on moving farther east again.

In one respect we are in a potential great spot to caoture the surge but if it keeps moving on this more easterly heading we would miss that.

[NDG]

Dropsonde in the NE eyewall, 99 knot winds, but I doubt it when they haven't measured those winds not even at flight level.
