A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, in this case within 12 to 24 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 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Sally was located near latitude 27.0 North, longitude 84.0 West. Sally is moving toward the west-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and a west-northwestward or northwestward motion is expected through Monday. A decrease in forward speed and a turn toward the north- northwest is forecast on Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Sally will move over the southeastern and eastern Gulf of Mexico today, move over the north-central Gulf of Mexico tonight and Monday, and approach the north-central Gulf Coast within the hurricane watch area late Monday and Tuesday. Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Further strengthening is expected over the next couple of days, and Sally is forecast to become a hurricane on Monday, with some additional strengthening possible through early Tuesday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 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. 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... Mouth of the Mississippi River to Ocean Springs including Lake Borgne...7-11 ft Port Fourchon to Mouth of the Mississippi River...4-7 ft Ocean Springs to MS/AL Border...4-7 ft Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas...4-6 ft MS/AL Border to AL/FL Border including Mobile Bay...2-4 ft AL/FL Border to Chassahowitzka including Pensacola Bay, Choctawhatchee Bay, and Saint Andrew Bay...1-3 ft The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the right of the landfall location, 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 expected within the warning area starting late Monday, with hurricane conditions possible within the hurricane watch area by early Tuesday. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area by Monday, and within the warning area late Monday. RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Sally is expected to produce additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches with isolated amounts of 6 inches across southern and central Florida through Monday. This rainfall will produce flash and urban flooding and prolong high flows and ongoing minor flooding on rivers across Central Florida. Tropical Storm Sally is expected to produce rainfall amounts of 6 to 12 inches with isolated amounts of 20 inches over portions of the Central Gulf Coast between the western Florida Panhandle and far southeast Louisiana from Monday into the middle of the week. Rainfall of 4 to 8 inches is possible farther inland over portions of Mississippi and Alabama. Sally is expected to be a slow moving system resulting in significant flash flooding near the Central Gulf Coast through the middle of the week. Flash, urban and rapid onset flooding along small streams, and minor to isolated major flooding on rivers is likely. SURF: Swells will spread northward along the west-central coast of Florida and reach the Florida Panhandle and the northern Gulf Coast 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.

Tropical Storm Sally Forecast Discussion Number 6
2020-09-13 04:38:29| National Hurricane Center (Atlantic)
Issued at 1100 PM EDT Sat Sep 12 2020 000 WTNT44 KNHC 130238 TCDAT4 Tropical Storm Sally Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL192020 1100 PM EDT Sat Sep 12 2020 Sally's structure remains somewhat disorganized this evening. While there has been a recent increase in deep convection near the low- level center, there is a large CDO feature with -70 to -80C tops displaced 50 to 60 miles to the south and southeast. This structure could be due to the 10 to 15 kt of northwesterly shear analyzed by the SHIPS model and UW-CIMSS. The initial intensity remains 35 kt based on the latest Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB, and the central pressure of 1003 mb is based on surface observations in the Naples area as the center passed offshore before 00Z. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft will be investigating Sally overnight to provide more information on the storm's intensity and structure. Given the current structure, only gradual strengthening is expected in the short term. However, once the cyclone develops more of an inner core, it should be able to take advantage of warm SSTs and low shear over the Gulf of Mexico during the next couple of days. Steady intensification to hurricane strength is forecast through 48 hours, with a leveling off of the intensity in 60-72 hours as the shear is expected to increase. Overall, the intensity guidance is a little less bullish this cycle, with the HWRF more aggressive while the remainder of the guidance shows a slower rate of intensification. The NHC intensity forecast through landfall remains unchanged from the previous advisory, but now lies a little above HCCA and the intensity consensus. The initial motion estimate is a somewhat uncertain 285/07. Sally is currently being steered by a mid-level ridge centered over the Carolinas that will shift eastward and weaken as a longwave trough moves into the eastern United States over the next 24 to 36 hours. During this time, Sally should move generally west-northwestward or northwestward with a decrease in forward speed on Monday. By 48 hours, the trough lifts out and a narrow ridge builds in north and east of Sally, which should result in the tropical cyclone turning north-northwestward and then northward at less than 5 kt as it approaches the north-central Gulf Coast and moves inland over the Mississippi Valley. After that time, the next trough should induce a faster northeastward motion by day 5. There is a fair bit of spread in the track guidance after 24 hours, with the COAMPS-TC well to the right and the GEFS ensemble mean and UKMET to the left. However, the GFS and ECMWF are in good agreement through 60 hours near the middle of the guidance envelope. The NHC track is similar to the previous one and lies in the middle of the guidance and is near the TVCA multi-model consensus and HCCA. Users are reminded to not focus on the exact details of the track or intensity forecasts, as the average NHC track error at 72 h is around 110 miles and the average intensity error is around 15 mph. In addition, wind, storm surge, and rainfall hazards will extend far from the center. Unfortunately, confidence is increasing that Sally's expected slow forward speed near the Gulf Coast will exacerbate the storm surge and heavy rainfall threats. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Life-threatening storm surge is possible along the Gulf Coast beginning on Monday, and a Storm Surge Watch is in effect for areas outside the southeastern Louisiana Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System from the Mouth of the Mississippi River to the Alabama/Florida border. Residents in these areas should follow any advice given by local officials. 2. Hurricane conditions are possible by early Tuesday from Grand Isle, Louisiana to the Alabama/Florida border, including Metropolitan New Orleans, with tropical storm conditions possible by Monday. 3. Sally is expected to produce flash flooding across portions of southern Florida and prolong existing minor river flooding across central Florida through Sunday. Flash and urban flooding and minor to moderate river flooding are likely across portions of the central Gulf Coast from Sunday through the middle of next week. 4. Tropical storm conditions are possible early next week in portions of the Florida Panhandle, where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect. Wind gusts to tropical storm force could occur over portions of the lower Florida Keys overnight.
