That last dropsonde shows Cat 3 winds at the 969mb level, just 18mb off the ground.

That's pretty good looking for a cat 1. Praying for everyone affected by this

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

That drop supports 971 and extraps 970 so not far off.

I see Sally is continuing Michael's curse which is for systems to strengthen all the way until landfall. Prayers for those in its path.

I can see 80 kt, but they'd probably want to see more than that dropsonde to go to 85.

Re: ATL: SALLY - Hurricane - Discussion
Even I (who tends to be somewhat bullish with storms, the polar opposite of WxMan57) thought the HWRF's sim IR depiction was a tad farfetched, but when all is said and done it may not be too far off.

Remember that dropsonde is susceptible to gusts.

My posts are my own personal opinion, defer to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and other NOAA products for decision making during hurricane season.

Didn't they revise the first 85 kts down to 80? So technically it hasn't ever reached cat 2 yet? Or did I misread that this morning when it was posted

Banding increasing south of the southern eyewall. First time I think I've seen banding in this area on Sally. Best looking cat1 Ive seen in a while, and a massive increase in organization since this morning.

Re: ATL: SALLY - Hurricane - Discussion
I'd go with 80 kt given all the data so far. The dropsonde is probably a gust.

With this saturated ground, trees will be coming down everywhere when it comes ashore.

Re: ATL: SALLY - Hurricane - Discussion
I think it’s finally time for her to get a nickname: Slow-as-**** Sally. This storm’s refusal to move is astonishing.

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.
