Wed 16Sept 8pEDT/7pCDT:
Winds 45mph(75km/h)
Moving NE 7mph(11km/h)
Pressure 994mb
Center about 70miles(110km) WNW of Dothan, AL
Heavy rains continue to keep popping up, and long skinny bands stretch down into the Gulf of Mexico. Flash Flood warnings continue to add to the map further & further inland. Rain continues up thru GA and the Carolina's Thursday. Where winds approach closer to 40mph scattered tree and power issues will continue, otherwise more rain/flood induced power issues. But winds will continue to slowly drop with storm. Rain & flooding is the main focus now.
Wed 11pEDT - weakens to tropical depression, winds 35mph.
Main rain shield moves from E AL into central GA region where 1-2” per hour, maybe up to 3” per hour, rainfall rates are possible: https://origin.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/met...d=0764&yr=2020
Tornado threat is low tonight mainly GA/FL but can’t rule out something brief/quick. Threat Thursday moves into the Carolina’s where more could be possible.
Tornado Watch for central and eastern SC. Likely expands into central-Eastern NC later. A few tornadoes have occurred in central/Eastern SC already this morning. https://twitter.com/nwstornado/statu...98206579462144
Sally is officially gone, position advisories of the Low that used to be Sally continue to be issued through WPC (Weather Prediction Center) in lieu of NHC advisories. An archive of NHC & WPC position advisories may be found here: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2020/SALLY.shtml?
Looks like about 575k without power at peak earlier today, down to just under 400k now.
Sally was certainly stronger than I expected. I'm in Atmore so the winds here came out of the NE, but the soil was so saturated that many trees were uprooted.
Aftermath aerial imagery has been posted by NOAA, zoom into the darker strips along the coast and they'll resolve into imagery. You can make before/after imagery or compare using google maps (or other) imagery. You can see many smashed docks and the damage to the 3-mile bridge near Pensacola.
