Hurricane Sally
- After reaching Category 2 status Monday, Hurricane Sally has weakened slightly to a Category 1 Hurricane and is located in the northern central portion of the Gulf of Mexico with sustained winds of 85 mph with gusts of up to 105 mph
- Sally is moving very slowly to the northwest at only 2 mph and is expected to make landfall hurricane along the Mississippi/Alabama coastlines late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning
- Storm surge of up to 9 feet is possible long the Mississippi/Alabama border
- After Sally makes landfall, the storm will gradually weaken into a tropical depression by Wednesday evening
- However, because Sally will linger slowly over land, life-threatening flash flooding is possible for parts of Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida as up to 15+ inches of rain will be possible.
