![]() ![]() 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… 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. Significant flash and urban flooding is likely, as well as widespread minor to moderate flooding on some 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. In addition, this rainfall will lead to widespread moderate to major flooding on area rivers. ![]() Historic, life-threatening flash flooding is likely. 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. The minimum central pressure recently reported by the Hurricane Hunters was 968 MB (28.58 inches). 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. 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. 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). ![]() Rapid weakening is expected after landfall occurs. Some further strengthening is possible before Sally makes landfall. 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. Sally is then expected to move inland across southeastern Alabama tonight. 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. 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. Sally is moving toward the north-northeast near 2 mph (4 km/h).
