Hurricane Sally underwent some strengthening in the hours leading up to landfall and officially came ashore near Gulf Shores, AL just before 5AM CDT as a category 2 with winds of 105 mph.

While the winds have obviously created some issues, the flooding from both storm surge and heavy rainfall has been disastrous. Many areas across Northwest Florida are continuing to get hammered with heavy rain this morning.

So far, radar estimates indicate that isolated spots have picked up close to 3 feet of rain. This swath of heavy rain will spread north today up through Alabama and into Georgia. In addition to freshwater flooding in many of these areas, tornadoes will also be possible.

The flurry of activity across the Atlantic continues. Teddy will be intensifying as it moves north-northwest. It’s likely to become a major hurricane, and potentially impact Bermuda late in the weekend or early next week.

Only one name remains on the list for the 2020 season – Wilfred. Following the formation that storm, we’ll be moving on to the Greek alphabet for the first time since 2005.
