Discussion
The new work week begins with an active tropical scene in the Atlantic Basin including Tropical Storm Sally which is slowly moving to the west-to-to-northwest over the eastern Gulf of Mexico. This system has a good chance to intensify into a hurricane over the next 12-24 hours as it churns towards the northern Gulf coastal region. Sally is likely to reach southeastern Louisiana in the overnight hours and it’ll become quite a slow moving system. As a consequence, there is the potential for substantial rainfall amounts in the northern Gulf region from southeastern Louisiana to the western part of Florida’s Panhandle – perhaps on the order of a foot or more. At mid-week, this system will head inland and push to the north and east bringing heavy rainfall to the south-central US and ultimately, the remains of Sally could produce significant rainfall as far north as the Mid-Atlantic.
